    in the early 1970's, Jonathan Trinh was a toddler when he and his parents boarded a fishing boat to flee Communists-ruled Viet Nam. they along w thousand of other Vietnamese refugees were living in a refugee camp in Hong Kong. 4 years later, Trinh and his family came to Houston.

    Jonathan has always been grateful to the US for the opportunity. after graduating from high school, he served in the US military.
    he then earned his advance degree in education.

    he is now the principal of Lee High School in Houston, Tx; his wife was a refugee from Hondorus, also works in education.

    Yes, refugees are very often solid positives for our nation. I hope they keep it up!

    My favorite part of Houston's Vietnamese refugees is their anti-communist rallies and love of our freedoms. They are not big fans of people that share adoo's politics.

    It is true that the Vietnamese American community is overwhelmingly anti-Communist;

    that is the reason why they are so anti-Trump, the biggest AZZ-Kisser of the Communists ruler, Putin

    My ancestors came as refugees from Canada in the 1750’s.

    You want to call me privileged?

    U need to stop lying. In 1750, neither Canadia nor US was a sovereign nation


    This lie is as stupid as Trump’s lie to the Brits that he has higher poll #’s than Abe Lincoln

    I haven't seen adoo's politics being communist in any way.

    From the article:

    Mr Kinner, who has an extensive criminal history spanning several states, according to police, is being held without bail.

    [Boise Chief of Police William] Bones told reporters that the evidence did not suggest the attack was a hate crime.

    The suspect had been staying with an acquaintance at the complex - but was kicked out on Friday due to bad behaviour.

    He returned the following day to "exact vengeance", attacking people at the birthday party, the police chief said.

    "It appears from the investigation, it was a matter of where they [victims] lived, not a matter if they knew the suspect," Mr Bones added.

    I think when one illegal commits a crime, you throw them all out.

    When one white guy rapes a woman, throw all white people in jail too!

    After the TianAnMan Square uprising in China, when she was 8, Leana Wen and her family were granted political asylum by the US.

    "We came to the U.S. with $40 to our name, We settled in Compton, CA,
    one of few LA neighborhoods where we could afford to live; at the beginning,
    like many of our neighbors there, we depended on Medicaid and food stamps"​

    At age 13 she enrolled in the Early Entrance Program at California State University, L.A.
    and graduated summa c*m laude with a B.S. in biochemistry five years later. She received
    her medical training at Washington University School of Medicine and Massachusetts General
    Hospital in Boston, where she was a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School.

    Since 2015, as Baltimore City Health Commissioner, Dr. Wen has tackled the opioid crisis and lack of trauma and mental health services.

    in 2017, Dr. Wen sued the Trump Administration last year when it cut Baltimore’s funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs.
    This, she said, "would deny health education for up to 20,000 of our students." The Department won that suit —
    the Trump Administration was ordered to restore $5 million in funding to these programs.

    Last month, Planned Parenthood announced that Dr. Leana Wen as their new president,
    the first physician to lead the non-profit in nearly five decades.
