I'm sure it had a lot to do with attitude on bothe sides.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435753141533984134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23130594.post-24518941275187914802012-12-09T12:06:14.736-05:002012-12-09T12:06:14.736-05:00Wow, Bob.

I suppose immigration is the same everywhere--at first the refugee is sheltered and protected, even hailed as a banner of the country's goodwill. But eventually, as always happens, the pendulum swings, and the same refugee becomes a source for resentment, an example of the government's ineptitude. It's hard to strike that middle ground, because the ground keeps shifting. It's a great thing you did, though, and I'm glad you took it as an opportunity to learn. I'm sure you and your family left an indelible mark on the Lings, too :)Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23130594.post-56558997369280080772012-12-09T10:00:18.452-05:002012-12-09T10:00:18.452-05:00It's a wonderful human interest story, Bob.
