As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Our economy is the sixth largest in the world and 13 percent of the country’s GDP. So any pain the President wants to cause in California will ripple nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump’s threat to weaponize federal funding is not only unconstitutional but emblematic of the cruelty he seeks to impose on our most vulnerable communities.

The Times also noted that the most current analysis suggests California actually sends more to the federal government than it gets back -- with 99 cents in payments for every dollar the state and its residents sent to Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, was among California officials denouncing Trump's threat, issuing a statement promising to fight any attempt to take away federal funds from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Far from being ‘out of control,’ California is creating jobs faster than other states and immigrants are key to our economic prosperity,\" de León said. \"We are an engine for the country’s innovation and job growth, and our state annually pays more in federal taxes than it gets back. Our economy is the sixth largest in the world and 13 percent of the country’s GDP. So any pain the President wants to cause in California will ripple nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump’s threat to weaponize federal funding is not only unconstitutional but emblematic of the cruelty he seeks to impose on our most vulnerable communities. Taking such irresponsible action would hurt our senior citizens, children, farmers, and veterans -- these are not political games, these are real lives the President is targeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the transcript of the O'Reilly-Trump exchange on California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O'Reilly:\u003c/strong> I just spent the week in California. As you know, they are now voting on whether they should become a sanctuary state. So California and the USA are on a collision course. How do you see it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, I think it's ridiculous -- sanctuary cities. As you know, I'm very much opposed to sanctuary cities. They breed crime, there's a lot of problems. If we have to, we'll defund. We give tremendous amounts of money to California. California ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O'Reilly:\u003c/strong> So you are going to defund. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> California is in many ways out of control, as you know. Obviously, the voters agree, otherwise they wouldn't have voted for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O'Reilly:\u003c/strong> So defunding is your weapon of choice. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, it's a weapon. I don't want to defund a state or a city. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O'Reilly:\u003c/strong> But you're willing to do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> ... I don't want to defund anybody. I want to give them the money they need to properly operate as a city or a state. If they're going to have sanctuary cities, we may have to do that. Certainly that would be a weapon.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\"You don't look like you're from around here,\" a young Adolphus Busch is told as he arrives in America from Germany to pursue his dream of making beer. So begins Budweiser's new Super Bowl ad, released earlier this week into an ongoing political maelstrom over immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad depicts the company's founder trudging through swamps and mud, surviving a steamboat fire and being greeted with outright hostility before getting to St. Louis and meeting Eberhard Anheuser — i.e., the Anheuser in Anheuser-Busch. Despite the beer giant's protestations that the ad is not political, it has hit a nerve among conservatives for taking a seemingly pro-immigrant stance at a time of widespread protests against President Trump's ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lost in all the brouhaha is the true story of the 19th-century German immigrants behind the rise of American brewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, let's start with a little historical nitpicking with that ad. Historian Maureen Ogle, author of \u003cem>Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer,\u003c/em> says that when Busch arrived in St. Louis, Mo., he didn't just run into Eberhard Anheuser — he married his daughter and took over the small brewery that Anheuser, a prosperous soap-maker, had acquired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, neither Anheuser nor Busch was the source of the original Budweiser. Ogle says the Bud brand was started by one of Busch's friends, Carl Conrad. Busch eventually bought Budweiser from Conrad — but that happened in the 1880s, long after he'd already become a successful brewer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one thing in the Budweiser ad that rings true to history: the anti-German immigrant hostility that Busch is depicted enduring on the streets. \"Go back home!\" a man tells him angrily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we don't know if Busch himself ever walked through such hostile crowds, Ogle says the 1850s were certainly an era marked by \"xenophobic turmoil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busch was part of a large wave of German immigrants, including Frederick Miller and Frederick Pabst, who helped build American brewing in the mid-1800s. The still-new nation was in the middle of a great debate over what it meant to be an American. And it was seeing a huge influx of immigrants — not just from Germany, but Ireland, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both the Irish and Germans came from cultures where alcohol was a respectable habit,\" says Ogle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many native-born Americans were worried about how all those newcomers, and their customs, would affect national identity, Ogle says. That's partly what gave rise to the temperance movement. It wasn't just about condemning alcohol, it was about defining the moral character of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a serious culture clash,\" Ogle says. \"And it did fuel a really strong prohibition movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Germans who came over set up beer halls in towns with large German enclaves, like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Americans thought of it as disreputable — only low-class people drank,\" Ogle says. \"If you went into a tavern, you were going into the seventh circle of hell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the 1840s and '50s, when America was still debating the great question of slavery, and whether to legalize it outside the South. Ogle says many working-class whites in the North who organized against the expansion of slavery did so, in part, out of fear that they'd be competing for low-skill jobs. These working-class whites were anti-immigrant for the same reasons, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were pitched battles in the streets where people were saying, 'You don't belong here. Go home. We don't want any more immigrants, ' \" Ogle says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican Party was born in Wisconsin in this climate, she says, to combat the expansion of slavery into the western territories, but also as a way for German immigrants to stand up for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Milwaukee [the Republican Party] was made up of German immigrants who were determined to protect immigrant rights and who wanted to end slavery,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Busch, he became an American citizen and was extremely proud of it, Ogle says. He died before the start of World War I — when anti-German sentiment became rampant in the U.S. His wife, Lilly Anheuser Busch, suffered a terrible indignity. Suspected of being a German spy, she was forced to undergo a full-body exam — body cavities included — by order of the attorney general on her way back from visiting relatives in Germany. And his family was denounced in newspapers as un-American, their loyalties to the nation openly questioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other thing to note: Many of those German immigrants of the mid-19th century were essentially refugees. They were fleeing constant warfare in Europe and came to America in search of stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Budweiser's ad represents a glowing representation of the American Dream, the truth is more complicated and, in fact, reflects a history of immigration that reverberates today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now a little history is valuable for just about everything,\" Ogle says.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

But some people don’t realize that hospitals nationwide could take a big financial hit on several fronts, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it’s likely that fewer patients would be able to pay their hospital bills, health policy analysts say, so the institutions would be stuck with that bad debt, as they were before Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Medicaid expansion goes away wholesale, and things go back to the way they were before this expansion was in place, a lot of those hospitals would see an increase in their uncompensated care costs,” says \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/person/rachel-garfield/\">Rachel Garfield\u003c/a>, an analyst with the Kaiser Family Foundation. The American Hospital Association estimates that hospitals across the U.S. could \u003ca href=\"http://www.aha.org/content/16/impact-repeal-aca-exec-summary.pdf\">lose\u003c/a> more than $160 billion from the reduction in Medicaid revenue and the increase in unpaid medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s this: The ACA has used financial incentives to encourage hospitals to experiment with ways to improve their care of patients, while reducing health care’s cost. That sort of experimentation has included a sizable upfront investment by many hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, for example, signed \u003ca href=\"http://www.partners.org/For-Patients/ACO/\">agreements\u003c/a> with physicians and insurers to create \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/04/01/132937232/accountable-care-organizations-explained\">accountable care organizations\u003c/a>, in hopes of saving money in the long run. With an ACO, insurers pay doctors for making sure the patient is getting the best and most appropriate care, instead of paying for every test and procedure a doctor does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have now more than 20 different programs,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.massgeneral.org/children/doctors/doctor.aspx?id=16933\">Dr. Timothy Ferris\u003c/a>, an internist and medical director of the Mass General Physicians Organization. “Video visits, electronic consultation with specialists, home hospitalization, [and] programs for patients with diabetes and heart disease. I would be worried that a repeal of the ACA would undermine our ability to invest in services for our patients.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferris acknowledges that most of those experiments \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/09/14/440240225/medicare-fails-to-save-money-so-far-on-cooperative-care-experiment\">haven’t yet\u003c/a> saved money.

But some people don’t realize that hospitals nationwide could take a big financial hit on several fronts, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it’s likely that fewer patients would be able to pay their hospital bills, health policy analysts say, so the institutions would be stuck with that bad debt, as they were before Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Medicaid expansion goes away wholesale, and things go back to the way they were before this expansion was in place, a lot of those hospitals would see an increase in their uncompensated care costs,” says \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/person/rachel-garfield/\">Rachel Garfield\u003c/a>, an analyst with the Kaiser Family Foundation. The American Hospital Association estimates that hospitals across the U.S. could \u003ca href=\"http://www.aha.org/content/16/impact-repeal-aca-exec-summary.pdf\">lose\u003c/a> more than $160 billion from the reduction in Medicaid revenue and the increase in unpaid medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s this: The ACA has used financial incentives to encourage hospitals to experiment with ways to improve their care of patients, while reducing health care’s cost. That sort of experimentation has included a sizable upfront investment by many hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, for example, signed \u003ca href=\"http://www.partners.org/For-Patients/ACO/\">agreements\u003c/a> with physicians and insurers to create \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/04/01/132937232/accountable-care-organizations-explained\">accountable care organizations\u003c/a>, in hopes of saving money in the long run. With an ACO, insurers pay doctors for making sure the patient is getting the best and most appropriate care, instead of paying for every test and procedure a doctor does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Charlene said other Jewish-Americans didn't take the hate group seriously and told her dad to \"let it pass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My dad would not let it pass,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stern collected more than 750,000 signatures \u003ca href=\"http://www.jweekly.com/2010/04/16/berkeley-survivor-dedicates-life-to-sharing-his-heartrending-story/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opposing the march\u003c/a>, but the neo-Nazis won the right to march with help from the ACLU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though it’s a controversial comparison to make, Stern said he does see an echo of Nazi Germany in what’s already happening to civil rights under President Trump's administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I learned a long time ago that history repeats itself,\" he said. \"The European people were mostly indifferent to the Jewish destruction. Many of them were sympathizers. Many took active part in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stern said he was taken aback when President Trump did not mention Jews at all \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/white-house-holocaust-jews-234572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in his statement\u003c/a> marking Holocaust Remembrance Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can you ignore it and not mention the people of the Holocaust?\" he said. \"It’s hitting right into the heart telling you, 'I don’t care.' They don’t exist for him. And that’s what’s frightening. And that’s why we’ve got to say, 'Not here, not now.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said someone who is indifferent to the suffering of others is just as guilty as an active collaborator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s what I’m applying today to the youth,\" he said. \"You cannot stand by and be indifferent.

My father was actually in Saigon on business, and my mother had to make a life and death decision about what to do. So she decided to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother and I and my mother walked to the nearest port town 184 kilometers away. We were able to get on board a boat or barge and make it to Saigon, find my dad, and then a month later, the communists took Saigon as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we had to repeat the experience, trying to get out by the airport, trying to get out by whatever means necessary. Finally, we got out on another barge or boat picked up by the U.S. Navy and were taken to Guam and then we flew from there to \u003ca href=\"http://ftig.png.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Indiantown Gap\u003c/a>, in Pennsylvania, which is where my memory really begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much of that journey is etched in your memory and how much of it comes from what other people have told you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I remember being taken away from my parents at 4 years old and sent to live with a white sponsor family while (the rest of my family) were sent to live with another family. That is a part of the refugee experience -- to be displaced and to have your lives suddenly at the mercy of other people's decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've said that your family didn't talk much about their refugee experience, or if they did it was through silences. Do you think that that's part of the reason why those stories don't end up getting told? Because it's painful for people to relive those experiences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's partially true. I mean I met many second generation Vietnamese-Americans who are not aware of what their parents have gone through. My own students for example, say \"Well I think my parents came on a boat.\" And they don't know and because their parents don't want to talk about it and I understand why. Because someone asks you what was it like and they expect an answer in a couple of minutes and you're supposed to try to convey a lifetime in that couple of minutes to even make sense out of what happened to you. So there's a reluctance to talk. But I think even when people do talk -- and there are people who do talk in Vietnamese about their stories -- the people who cannot speak Vietnamese can't hear it or don't want to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've talked about people sharing their experiences within the community in Vietnamese, and you've also said that you know you're not writing for a white audience necessarily with your work. How do share those experiences in a way that creates empathy in a climate where some people have the notion that refugees are dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well I think all novelists, all writers and artists work to create empathy and that's the basic material for what it is that we do. I don't think my work is any different. I mean the problem is not in getting people to read the books or watch the movies. The problem is the distribution of information. And the problem is that either some people live in places where they don't get this information or they don't want to get this information. If somebody picks up my book I've already won half the battle. But I think the real challenge is to get people to pick up the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your new book \"The Refugees\" is a collection of stories that you wrote over two decades. You have a young woman who sees the ghost of her brother. You have this dynamic between two women of the same age within the Vietnamese community in San Jose. They're all stories of Vietnamese refugees, but told from different perspectives.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think there is a great degree of emotional similarity across these different kinds of experiences. And certainly that was what I wanted to try to do with the book, to talk about people whose stories I knew very intimately and whose stories I also knew that most Americans knew nothing about. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We don’t see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they’re not pitiful — that they’re only pitiful because of their circumstances.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So the primary challenge of the of the collection was simply to convey the humanity of these people and their complexities and the nuances. So these stories range the spectrum from older people to younger people, gay and straight men and women and military and so on, to try to convey the fact that we cannot stereotype or flatten out or homogenize even a national or an ethnic population and the diversity of these people is exactly the diversity of other communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you tell us about American public opinion at the time that Vietnamese refugees were coming to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the U.S. just ended a very terrible war with the communists in Vietnam. But I think many Americans saw all Vietnamese as being rather foreign whether they were on the American side or not on the American side. So in 1975 when Congress was admitting Vietnamese refugees into the country, opinion polls show that the majority of Americans didn't want to accept Vietnamese or other Southeast Asian refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I notice in your work that you make this distinction between immigrants and refugees. Why is that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to assert that I am a refugee rather than an immigrant because when my book came out, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/05/books/review/the-sympathizer-by-viet-thanh-nguyen.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">\"The Sympathizer\" \u003c/a>came out so many of the reviews were saying this is an immigrant novel. I understood why they were saying that because the idea of the immigrant experience is absolutely central to the American story or the American mythology. Even though at periodic points in American history the United States has been actually rather anti-immigrant. Nevertheless the idea of the American dream is that we welcome immigrants to these shores. And so the easiest way to make sense out of somebody like me who was born elsewhere is to call me an immigrant which implicitly turns me into a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are much more threatening than immigrants. Immigrants voluntarily come to our country. They've chosen our country. Refugees have been forced out by circumstances and they are the unwanted in the countries that they come from. And that is one of the reasons why I think Americans and other people from other countries have a hard time dealing with refugees because of the stigma that they carry of being unwanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the other hand you have some Americans who feel great compassion for refugees because they're 'legitimate' migrants fleeing war, versus migrants fleeing economic or environmental devastation.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there's always been that tension within the United States and in other countries obviously. But so far as the question of whether refugees are more desirable than immigrants for some people I think that's absolutely true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said this is the stuff of fiction what's happening right now with refugee policy. Is there anything that you feel when you look at these experiences of Syrians and people from the Middle East that resonates with the experience of the Vietnamese community back when you came?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I did in doing research for my nonfiction work was to visit a refugee camp in Indonesia. So the Vietnamese refugees who were fleeing -- the so-called \"boat people\" -- were trying to make it to neighboring South-East Asian countries like Indonesia. And it was a very horrible experience you know. And some estimates are that half of the people who went out to sea didn't survive. They just disappeared somewhere. And at this refugee camp there there was a cemetery and there are gravestones marking people who had died when they were 80 and marking people who had died when they were zero or three months. And I think then that we do share something in common with the Syrians for example who were trying to flee their country by boat. The terror, the fear. The odds being stacked completely stacked against you. There's a line in one of my stories I think where I say, you know to be a refugee is to be enormously courageous because you go out on that boat to the open sea knowing that the likelihood is that you're going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we don't see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they're not pitiful -- that they're only pitiful because of their circumstances. But it takes enormous initiative as well as fear to take your life into your own hands and to risk it in that fashion and that is something that the Vietnamese and the Syrians shared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think your experience growing up as a refugee in California may have been different from the experience of refugees who grew up in other parts of the country?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the refugees who ended up in California either because they were put there by government policy or because they voluntarily migrated thought of themselves as lucky because of the weather, because of the diversity, because of the economic and social welfare opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also had the advantage of living in strong Vietnamese-American centers of population. Whereas if you were in some city in Kansas there might've been 100 or 200 Vietnamese people. That made a big difference. You know you didn't grow up feeling alone. You had all of the typical problems of being a refugee but at least you had the community with its churches, its stores its social services, its language. And that helped people to create a sense of home a displaced home not in the old country, but still, a Little Saigon or something like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So many of your stories touch on dislocation, a sense of not belonging. Do you still feel like a refugee?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still feel like I am a refugee although I'm not certain whether I'm romanticizing myself. Obviously I am not a refugee in any material sense. I have made the transition as one colleague jokingly says from 'being refugee to bourgeoisie.' And no one would ever mistake me for a refugee unless I said it. But I feel like I've been shaped by my refugee experience and psychologically part of me is a refugee. I don't feel completely at home. I feel like I'm still somewhat of an outsider. And again maybe I cultivate that because being an outsider helps me to be a writer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've just come off of the great success of \"The Sympathizer\" and now you're moving into this collection of short stories. What's that transition been like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it's an unreal experience because it took 20 years from the first words of this book to seeing it published. And I think in the last few years I'd resigned myself to the possibility that the book was never going to be published and I had actually gotten to the psychological mindset of thinking. \"Well I didn't waste 20 years of my life. I used those 20 years to learn how to be a writer.\" It's a feeling of relief more than anything else, seeing it out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An excerpt from \"The Refugees\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I liked school even summer school. It was like being on vacation from home. And at 3 o'clock I was always a little disappointed to walk the four blocks to the grocery store. My parents owned the new Saigon market where English was hardly ever spoken and Vietnamese was loud. My mother and father rarely left their posts. The cash registers flanking the entrance of a new Saigon. Customers always crowded the market. One of the few places in San Jose were the Vietnamese could buy the staples and spices of home. People haggled endlessly with my mother over everything beginning with a rock sugar which I pretended was yellow kryptonite and ending with the varieties of meat in the freezer from pork chops and catfish with a glint of light in their eyes to shoestring s of chewy tripe and packets of chicken hearts small and tender as button mushrooms. Can we just sell TV dinners, I asked once.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

My father was actually in Saigon on business, and my mother had to make a life and death decision about what to do. So she decided to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother and I and my mother walked to the nearest port town 184 kilometers away. We were able to get on board a boat or barge and make it to Saigon, find my dad, and then a month later, the communists took Saigon as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we had to repeat the experience, trying to get out by the airport, trying to get out by whatever means necessary. Finally, we got out on another barge or boat picked up by the U.S. Navy and were taken to Guam and then we flew from there to \u003ca href=\"http://ftig.png.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Indiantown Gap\u003c/a>, in Pennsylvania, which is where my memory really begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much of that journey is etched in your memory and how much of it comes from what other people have told you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I remember being taken away from my parents at 4 years old and sent to live with a white sponsor family while (the rest of my family) were sent to live with another family. That is a part of the refugee experience -- to be displaced and to have your lives suddenly at the mercy of other people's decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've said that your family didn't talk much about their refugee experience, or if they did it was through silences. Do you think that that's part of the reason why those stories don't end up getting told? Because it's painful for people to relive those experiences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's partially true. I mean I met many second generation Vietnamese-Americans who are not aware of what their parents have gone through. My own students for example, say \"Well I think my parents came on a boat.\" And they don't know and because their parents don't want to talk about it and I understand why. Because someone asks you what was it like and they expect an answer in a couple of minutes and you're supposed to try to convey a lifetime in that couple of minutes to even make sense out of what happened to you. So there's a reluctance to talk. But I think even when people do talk -- and there are people who do talk in Vietnamese about their stories -- the people who cannot speak Vietnamese can't hear it or don't want to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've talked about people sharing their experiences within the community in Vietnamese, and you've also said that you know you're not writing for a white audience necessarily with your work. How do share those experiences in a way that creates empathy in a climate where some people have the notion that refugees are dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well I think all novelists, all writers and artists work to create empathy and that's the basic material for what it is that we do. I don't think my work is any different. I mean the problem is not in getting people to read the books or watch the movies. The problem is the distribution of information. And the problem is that either some people live in places where they don't get this information or they don't want to get this information. If somebody picks up my book I've already won half the battle. But I think the real challenge is to get people to pick up the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your new book \"The Refugees\" is a collection of stories that you wrote over two decades. You have a young woman who sees the ghost of her brother. You have this dynamic between two women of the same age within the Vietnamese community in San Jose. They're all stories of Vietnamese refugees, but told from different perspectives.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think there is a great degree of emotional similarity across these different kinds of experiences. And certainly that was what I wanted to try to do with the book, to talk about people whose stories I knew very intimately and whose stories I also knew that most Americans knew nothing about. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We don’t see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they’re not pitiful — that they’re only pitiful because of their circumstances.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So the primary challenge of the of the collection was simply to convey the humanity of these people and their complexities and the nuances. So these stories range the spectrum from older people to younger people, gay and straight men and women and military and so on, to try to convey the fact that we cannot stereotype or flatten out or homogenize even a national or an ethnic population and the diversity of these people is exactly the diversity of other communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you tell us about American public opinion at the time that Vietnamese refugees were coming to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the U.S. just ended a very terrible war with the communists in Vietnam. But I think many Americans saw all Vietnamese as being rather foreign whether they were on the American side or not on the American side. So in 1975 when Congress was admitting Vietnamese refugees into the country, opinion polls show that the majority of Americans didn't want to accept Vietnamese or other Southeast Asian refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I notice in your work that you make this distinction between immigrants and refugees. Why is that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to assert that I am a refugee rather than an immigrant because when my book came out, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/05/books/review/the-sympathizer-by-viet-thanh-nguyen.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">\"The Sympathizer\" \u003c/a>came out so many of the reviews were saying this is an immigrant novel. I understood why they were saying that because the idea of the immigrant experience is absolutely central to the American story or the American mythology. Even though at periodic points in American history the United States has been actually rather anti-immigrant. Nevertheless the idea of the American dream is that we welcome immigrants to these shores. And so the easiest way to make sense out of somebody like me who was born elsewhere is to call me an immigrant which implicitly turns me into a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are much more threatening than immigrants. Immigrants voluntarily come to our country. They've chosen our country. Refugees have been forced out by circumstances and they are the unwanted in the countries that they come from. And that is one of the reasons why I think Americans and other people from other countries have a hard time dealing with refugees because of the stigma that they carry of being unwanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the other hand you have some Americans who feel great compassion for refugees because they're 'legitimate' migrants fleeing war, versus migrants fleeing economic or environmental devastation.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there's always been that tension within the United States and in other countries obviously. But so far as the question of whether refugees are more desirable than immigrants for some people I think that's absolutely true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said this is the stuff of fiction what's happening right now with refugee policy. Is there anything that you feel when you look at these experiences of Syrians and people from the Middle East that resonates with the experience of the Vietnamese community back when you came?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I did in doing research for my nonfiction work was to visit a refugee camp in Indonesia. So the Vietnamese refugees who were fleeing -- the so-called \"boat people\" -- were trying to make it to neighboring South-East Asian countries like Indonesia. And it was a very horrible experience you know. And some estimates are that half of the people who went out to sea didn't survive. They just disappeared somewhere. And at this refugee camp there there was a cemetery and there are gravestones marking people who had died when they were 80 and marking people who had died when they were zero or three months. And I think then that we do share something in common with the Syrians for example who were trying to flee their country by boat. The terror, the fear. The odds being stacked completely stacked against you. There's a line in one of my stories I think where I say, you know to be a refugee is to be enormously courageous because you go out on that boat to the open sea knowing that the likelihood is that you're going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we don't see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they're not pitiful -- that they're only pitiful because of their circumstances. But it takes enormous initiative as well as fear to take your life into your own hands and to risk it in that fashion and that is something that the Vietnamese and the Syrians shared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think your experience growing up as a refugee in California may have been different from the experience of refugees who grew up in other parts of the country?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the refugees who ended up in California either because they were put there by government policy or because they voluntarily migrated thought of themselves as lucky because of the weather, because of the diversity, because of the economic and social welfare opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also had the advantage of living in strong Vietnamese-American centers of population. Whereas if you were in some city in Kansas there might've been 100 or 200 Vietnamese people. That made a big difference. You know you didn't grow up feeling alone. You had all of the typical problems of being a refugee but at least you had the community with its churches, its stores its social services, its language. And that helped people to create a sense of home a displaced home not in the old country, but still, a Little Saigon or something like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So many of your stories touch on dislocation, a sense of not belonging. Do you still feel like a refugee?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still feel like I am a refugee although I'm not certain whether I'm romanticizing myself. Obviously I am not a refugee in any material sense. I have made the transition as one colleague jokingly says from 'being refugee to bourgeoisie.' And no one would ever mistake me for a refugee unless I said it. But I feel like I've been shaped by my refugee experience and psychologically part of me is a refugee. I don't feel completely at home. I feel like I'm still somewhat of an outsider. And again maybe I cultivate that because being an outsider helps me to be a writer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've just come off of the great success of \"The Sympathizer\" and now you're moving into this collection of short stories. What's that transition been like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it's an unreal experience because it took 20 years from the first words of this book to seeing it published. And I think in the last few years I'd resigned myself to the possibility that the book was never going to be published and I had actually gotten to the psychological mindset of thinking. \"Well I didn't waste 20 years of my life. I used those 20 years to learn how to be a writer.\" It's a feeling of relief more than anything else, seeing it out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was like being on vacation from home. And at 3 o'clock I was always a little disappointed to walk the four blocks to the grocery store. My parents owned the new Saigon market where English was hardly ever spoken and Vietnamese was loud. My mother and father rarely left their posts. The cash registers flanking the entrance of a new Saigon. Customers always crowded the market. One of the few places in San Jose were the Vietnamese could buy the staples and spices of home. People haggled endlessly with my mother over everything beginning with a rock sugar which I pretended was yellow kryptonite and ending with the varieties of meat in the freezer from pork chops and catfish with a glint of light in their eyes to shoestring s of chewy tripe and packets of chicken hearts small and tender as button mushrooms.

For the U.S. at that time, the working definition of \"refugee\" was someone fleeing from a Communist or a Communist-dominated country -- and anyone who did that was a propaganda victory for the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. was initially resistant to admitting displaced persons. Then, between 1945 and 1950, 350,000 people from Europe were admitted to the U.S. In 1948, Congress passed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ushmm.org/learn/timeline-of-events/after-1945/displaced-persons-act\">Displaced Persons Act\u003c/a>, which somewhat formalized the admissions that were already ongoing and provided some funding for resettlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the U.S. had \"national origin\" quotas in its immigration laws, which meant tension between Congress and the executive branch about admitting Jews and Eastern Europeans.

In 1953, Congress passed what they hoped was a one-off law: the Refugee Relief Act. It allowed 209,000 special immigrant visas to be given to Europeans. But the U.S. refugee policy was still quite ad hoc, and it wasn’t until the 1956 uprising in Hungary that there was a recognition and expectation that people who were fleeing from Communism would need to be accommodated as refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this time, the decision making was still very much in the executive branch. The U.S. attorney general would use his executive “parole” authority to admit people into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds or as a matter of national interest, without those people having to demonstrate any other qualifications for regular immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Under President Eisenhower, 38,000 Hungarians were paroled into the U.S. Similarly, during and after the revolution in Cuba, 125,000 Cubans simply arrived spontaneously in the U.S. and the executive branch tolerated it. Some Cubans had permanent visas, more had temporary visas, but when they expired, they were just allowed to stay. Those who had no visa at all were tolerated or ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Vietnam War\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1968, the U.S. signed the U.N.'s \u003ca href=\"http://www.unhcr.org/en-us/1951-refugee-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">1951 Refugee Convention\u003c/a>.

Then, between 1945 and 1950, 350,000 people from Europe were admitted to the U.S. In 1948, Congress passed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ushmm.org/learn/timeline-of-events/after-1945/displaced-persons-act\">Displaced Persons Act\u003c/a>, which somewhat formalized the admissions that were already ongoing and provided some funding for resettlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 1953, Congress passed what they hoped was a one-off law: the Refugee Relief Act. It allowed 209,000 special immigrant visas to be given to Europeans. But the U.S. refugee policy was still quite ad hoc, and it wasn’t until the 1956 uprising in Hungary that there was a recognition and expectation that people who were fleeing from Communism would need to be accommodated as refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this time, the decision making was still very much in the executive branch. The U.S. attorney general would use his executive “parole” authority to admit people into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds or as a matter of national interest, without those people having to demonstrate any other qualifications for regular immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Under President Eisenhower, 38,000 Hungarians were paroled into the U.S. Similarly, during and after the revolution in Cuba, 125,000 Cubans simply arrived spontaneously in the U.S. and the executive branch tolerated it. Some Cubans had permanent visas, more had temporary visas, but when they expired, they were just allowed to stay. Those who had no visa at all were tolerated or ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Vietnam War\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1968, the U.S. signed the U.N.'s \u003ca href=\"http://www.unhcr.org/en-us/1951-refugee-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">1951 Refugee Convention\u003c/a>.

The camp had been a grassroots partnership between homeless residents, local neighbors, and activist groups like Feed the People and Asians for Black Lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On inauguration weekend, they had begun building tiny homes and other amenities here in a public park, which they say the city had neglected for decades. They say this camp was in direct response to the homelessness crisis in the Bay Area and that around 16 people had taken up full-time residence here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nearly two weeks, scores of volunteers had helped build four tiny homes from pallets and plywood. Others had served hot meals from a makeshift kitchen, spread mulch over muddy grass to prepare for edible landscaping and provided 24/7 security for the dozen or so homeless people they say were residing there full time. They had also pulled together a donations tent, an information tent and a medical tent — all run by volunteers. Some had started calling it “The Promised Land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when police and city workers arrived to vacate and demolish it, they were met by a passionate crowd of nearly 100 of the encampment’s supporters — some wearing neon-green “legal observer” caps from the National Lawyers Guild and others chanting and carrying signs that said “homelessness is not a crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the camp’s regular volunteers is Linda Grant.

Where can we do it? Where would be a safe place?’ That would have been different,” Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that the city has a pilot program called Compassionate Communities, which has sanctioned a homeless encampment at 35th and Peralta streets for a six-month trial period, sending in sanitation and social service workers to get people into housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But residents of the now-destroyed Promised Land said other homeless encampments, including the one at 35th and Peralta streets, are plagued by drugs and violence. This one, many of them said, was the best home they had found in a long time because it was founded on principles of self-determination, love and mutual respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Village resident named Red, who didn’t want to give his last name, said he’s been homeless since 2010. He was building his own tiny home in the far corner of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can always replace the wood,” Red said. “But you can’t replace the people and the hearts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Bay Area heads into more than a week of forecast rains, most of the homeless residents here, several sitting on the sidewalk with their few belongings stacked up beside them, said they have no idea where they will go to find shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Above video produced by Erasmo Martinez.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
