新國“壞小孩”用最快速的方法拿到美國綠卡，馬勞會這樣做嗎？

Singapore blogger granted asylum released from custody in Chicago
                                                                                                                                                   
Amos Yee, whose online posts mocking and criticizing the Singapore government twice landed him in jail there, left his homeland in December with the intention of seeking U.S. asylum. But federal immigration agents detained the 18-year-old at O'Hare International Airport and he had been behind bars since.

Carrying a clear plastic bag stuffed with his belongings, Yee emerged Tuesday afternoon from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in downtown Chicago.

"I'm kind of stunned right now," he said. "It's very surreal."

Hours earlier his attorneys received notification of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision upholding a Chicago immigration judge's March ruling that Yee had a "well-founded fear" of being persecuted upon return to Singapore. The board determined the Chicago judge correctly relied on expert and witness testimony in asylum proceedings earlier this year. U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorneys opposed Yee's asylum bid.

With asylum status, Yee will be eligible to apply for a green card in a year, attorneys said.

"We welcome the board's decision and we welcome it because it's a decision that's grounded in law and in fact," said Yee attorney Sandra Grossman. "He was persecuted because of political beliefs."

In closed-door proceedings, Homeland Security attorneys had said Yee's asylum case didn't qualify as persecution based on political beliefs. The department didn't immediately have comment Tuesday. Neither did an ICE spokeswoman.

Yee, an atheist, was accused of hurting the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians in Singapore. Many of his explicit social media and blog entries criticized Singapore's leaders, something that is discouraged in the city-state. He ignited controversy in 2015 after posting a fiery video about Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew just after his death.

In March, Judge Samuel Cole in Chicago concluded that Yee had met the burden of showing "he suffered past persecution on account of his political opinion and had a well-founded fear of future persecution in Singapore." The judge said the aim of jailing Yee in Singapore at such a young age was to stifle his political speech.

Singapore's government criticized the March decision, with the Ministry of Home Affairs saying the U.S. "allows such hate speech under the rubric of freedom of speech."

Yee had said that he feared returning to Singapore, but that he would continue his activism. Yee has been outspoken from a young age, winning a local filmmaking prize at age 13.

"I'll continue leading life as usual," Yee said Tuesday. "I have plans for more videos, much of it criticizing the Singapore government, but I think maybe I broaden my work to U.S. politics too, since I'm here."

那里很适合他。 不懂以后还有没有drama再上演?  比如被打被劫被恐吓要求筹款救他?

色鹿不必擔心他，美國處處有機會！他應該會成為抨擊新國政府的“名嘴”！

Yee said Tuesday. "I have plans for more videos, much of it criticizing the Singapore government。。。

他在美国， 那有听众?  君不见新加坡那些国外异议份子的网络"收视率"?

他还得想办法打工赚生活费， 那像在新加坡可以吃家里的?


看看alvin tan， 现在有批评新马吗? 除了啪啪啪，他根本就是哑了， 也没多少人要关注他。

新加坡人到美国不用签证， 就算是工作的话也有特别的working visa。

H1B1 visa没有固打的问题。

前阵子特朗普下令收紧H1B visa时，我的前同事还是能去美国工作。 她说是靠H1B1 visa。美国太大，新加坡人去那里工作根本就引响不到当地的电子界就业市场。

你去美国住一段日子就知道， 那里很"封闭"的; 除了美国， 其他地方的发展他们都没兴趣。

有时， 有些民众连500英里外的著名地点都不知道。例如跟靠近las vegas的小镇的服务员说你在silicon valley工作， 她们可能不懂那是什么地方。
