At first I was skeptical of the quality of living conditions for the 50,000 refugees that came to San Diego in the 1970’s because the fact that Quan Nguyen recalled 40 people living in one…[Read more]

One of the questions asked was along the lines of “Why do you think people immigrate here?”. I’d always thought it was for one or two reasons: people were either…[Read more]
