If you are speaking of the Vietnamese that were refugees in the 70's, point of interest is that they were given a gov grant of something like $24k (not sure of the exact amount)each to help establish themselves here. Not much by today's standards, but........ I totally agree with you, though. Many immigrants have taken advantage of our FREEDOM and opportunity to succeed in this great country. Those that are able and are not successful can only blame themselves. I am not talking about the distant past where some were kept out due to race, gender or even not being a member of a secret society/club. There is NO excuse today for those that are able.
