“On our third attempt, my wife, children, and I escaped by boat from Vietnam and arrived in Hong

Kong, where we remained for three months. Then my brother, who came to America in 1975,

sponsored us, and we arrived in America in 1978. . . .

“Although in America we live with everything free, to move, to do business, we still have the need

to return to Vietnam one day. This is our dream. In Vietnam, before the Communists came, we had

a sentimental life, more [mentally] comfortable and cozy, more joyful. . . . In America, when we go

to work, we go in our cars. When we return, we leave our cars and enter our homes [and do not

meet neighbors]. . . . That’s why we do not have the kind of being at ease that we knew in

Vietnam.”
