Dear friends:

CNN is having a sensational programs about Chinese illegal immigrants
this week and I think we should do something to protect and justify the
common interests of Chinese community. From my point of view, smuggling 
immigrants is a very nasty business and I hate to see it happened. 
However, the stereotypes and hatred expressed and imposed by CNN and its
reporters really astonished me. 

The California Governor blamed those illegal Mexicans for the recession in
that state. Now CNN is blaming those Chinese for all the problems in this
country. At the end of the Tuesday's show, an angry CNN reporter claims that
they will continue to show the American people how those Chinese people
"corrupt the whole nation!" (Wednesday 7pm eastern time?).

I am wondering what is the difference in number between those Mexican
and Chinese illegal immigrants. I am also wondering if CNN got the nerve
to say the same thing about those Mexican people. Although the American
society is generous and liberal in general, some stereotypes and bias are
deep-rooted among the media. We've achieved a lot in the past. And we still
have a long way to go in defending ourselves.

Thank you for your attention. I hope we can unite and make our voices
louder and stronger!
