   According to the Washington Post, 11/1/93, the INS official has said that all
   is ready for the Golden Venture survivors to be deported now.  At the time the
   fate of the 650 Chinese refugees deported by the Mexico government is not yet
   accounted for, what is awaiting these "cowboys" once  they are sent back as
   scheduled?  It is one thing to extol them into skies, it is another to come up
   with real solutions to resolve their immediate crisis.  Put yourself in the
   shoes their parents, would you want them to come again given the way they are
   being treated by the American government and the Chinese community in the U.S.?

Thanx for your comments and message. The smuggling issue is very controversial,
and it is very difficult to cut a clear line between right and wrong, winner
or losers. For me, the sneakheads should be condemned, but those "cowboys" are 
just ordinary people, with a strong desire to seek a better life. Some of them 
succeeded, some of them fail, some one even lost their lives. I do not believe
that we are in the position to criticise them, because many of CSS came here 
for the same reason as they did. As an educated elite, we had a much better 
chance to be granted a entry visa then they did, but it does not mean that the
only addmittable guys to the US are educated elite. Look around for yourself, 
how many Americans and PRs are as well educated as you and me? How many 
professors in your schools are native Americans? How many immigrants here came
for study? I have encountered many Mexican undocuments here in New York, and
there in Texas they are so many. In fact, undocumented Mexicans outnumber all 
of the other nationalities all together by 3 to 1. Who have seen Americans 
complaining this aloud on TV? Why Chinese? Why we Chinese complain ONLY 
Chinese? That is one of my points.
