Does it ever occur to the airheads who write for the LA Times that maybe the Cubans of Miami and the Vietnamese of Garden Grove might just have good reason for their opposition to communism?

Not much of anything occurs to airheads. Here are the last three paragraphs of the L.A. Times article.

But some observers say the measure is misguided and does more harm than good.

"Vietnam is not a nice society," said Zachary Abuza, a professor at Simmons College in Boston who studies Southeast Asian politics. "But the community needs to understand they are operating in a new social, legal and political environment. They just have to get that ? and they don't.

"There's nothing we can do to stop the representatives of the communist government from traveling there. That's like saying that you're going to make Orange County, a predominantly Republican county, an anti-Democratic zone. It's absurd."

Interesting quote. I've never heard the lefties say the same about immigrants from Mexico. In their case, we're all just supposed to bow to the joys of multiculturalism.
