Uh ... no. My parents didn’t certainly come here tax-free. And they certainly did not have the government pay for their college. Getting an education and becoming a part of the middle class meant the same thing as everyone else: blood, sweat, tears and living by solid American values.
Maybe in the years right after the war but I certainly doubt that. The south vietnamese certainly had their due after the Demo-Rats cut off funding to the South Vietnamese government at the time of the arab oil embargo thus ensuring the south would fall.
As for the vote, after further discussion with other conservatives, I am more mixed now. Cao is in a D +25 district and he waited after the bill had already passed to vote. He voted against the stimulus and cap and trade and on most other national issues with Republicans. He’s doing what he can to get elected though I would be happier if he hadn’t given the democrats cover to call this bill bi-partisan.
