While I was working as a nurse in Portland, Oregon, the hospital had hired a group of Vietnamese trained nurses and had them re-certify for a state license and had passed. You could not talk down or bad mouth America, they would jump into your shite and get into your face. They were very grateful and proud to be here and on their way to citizenship and were terrified of America turning communist. They said if they had stayed they would be killed.
A delightful, uplifting story which made my day! :)
