A LOT fewer illegals;they cannot walk across the border like Mexicans.
The Vietnamese came mostly with the fall of South Vietnam to the Communist
North. Heck,we OWED them refuge after surrendering to the NV.(and their
"reeducation camps")
We probably got more illegals from the Mariel boat escape from Cuba than
frrom Vietnam after the Commies took over.

Also,I noted a comment on the Washington Times site today about Mexicans
boycotting "gringo" businesses;if they can recognze a "gringo"
business,then why can't people recognize a "Mexican" business?

Also,if we give in AGAIN and offer amnesty,who's to say that a THIRD
amnesty would not be offered at a later date,once another flood of illegals
snuck into the US? (like they did after the first amnesty)

Also note that illegals now enter the construction trades,that are high-
paying jobs that would be entry-level jobs for less-educated US
citizens,but now lower the wage/benefit scale for those jobs.
It's cheaper to hire an illegal and pay them a low wage and no benefits
than to hire a US citizen and pay more in wages/benefits.And then the
illegals just go to the emergency rooms.(this was mentioned in that article
by the Colorado Governor,with a lot of cited dollar numbers)

Inever said anything about that. I suspect there are few illegals from
France,especially compared to Mexican illegals.

WRT Vietnamese or other Asian eateries;
Only after the supply of their relatives and friends relatives has run out.
