“Nations always determine whether the World respects and values its citizens. Once upon a time, there was this: the Chinese Exclusion Act. A US federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers. It’s in our hands.

“Seeing one’s country on that unfortunate US Immigration Ban List is infuriating. But like I already stated, Nations determine how the World perceives, respects and values their citizens. It is in our hands. Our problem is here at home. We Fix it…..then We face the World,” she tweeted.
