Asian-Americans and American Foreign Policy.
Myron WEINER
It is legitimate in the United States for naturalized citizens to seek to influence their adopted country's foreign policy on behalf of their country of origin. There are three reasons : (1) the American legal framework regarding constitutional rights ;
(2) the system of separation of powers which assigns Congress a role in foreign policy ; and (3) a widely shared ideology. There are historically well-established patterns of foreign policy involvement by Americans of European origin. This article shows how 4.5 million Americans of Asian extraction — Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Laotians, Kampucheans, Koreans, and Asian Indians — follow similar patterns of behavior. Three patterns are identified : (1) migrants press the U.S. to pursue policies beneficial to their home country ; (2) migrants are hostile to the regime of their country of origin, often for its human rights violations ; and
(3) migrants who were ethnic minorities at home support their ethnic kinfolk seeking greater autonomy or independence.
