[quote=Anonymous]I had no sympathy for the guy from Laos.  If you commit and are convicted of a crime and spend 12 years in prison I am totally ok with you going back to your home country. I don't understand why he wasn't deported right after release. He also knowingly conceived a child when he knew his stay in this country was in jeopardy. The marine wife I felt bad for and I felt her husband was an asshole.  I bet they get divorced.  I feel really bad for all the kids in families who were born in their home country and then younger siblings born here.  It's such a terribly unfair advantage their younger sibs have over them.  The Colombia family shows the very real reality of how immigrants hate on eachother.  I was raised by immigrants (we had papers but I realize it was the 80s and who knows if we would have been undocumented if we came over in the 2000s) and my parents would talk similarly.  It's like a race against all immigrants.  Who can buy a house the quickest, who can get their kids into the best schools, who can own a business, etc etc.  It's not flatteringly and its shameful but it's extremely common.

PS: I think they all speak English, no? They taped everyone speaking both languages I think?

PPS:  My parents NEVER spoke English in the house and I never speak English to my own kids.  It doesn't mean they don't speak English at their job/day to day interactions outside the home.[/quote]
