>> They are the type of immigrants this country needs <<
I’m with you. I’ll take a legal Chinese or Vietnamese millionaire any day, versus an illegal Honduran or Nicaraguan with nothing but the (wet) shirt on his back.
I’ve lived in Vancouver my whole life. The Chinese are not hated at all. They are great citizens in general. In the second generation, when language issues are past, it doesn’t make a hoot of difference. Any grumblings come from kids who grew up in Vancouver but are now priced out of the real estate market and live out in the suburbs due to economics, not choice.
