Quote #10

"I still feel it was no mistake to bring the Hmong here, but you look back now and say, 'How could we have done it so shoddily?'" (14.10)

At least the U.S. government can admit that they botched the resettlement of Hmong refugees. Retrospectively, sure, but it's better than nothing. The problem wasn't their decision to bring the Hmong to America, it was the way they did it, which was completely apathetic (or at least oblivious) to the specifics of Hmong culture. That ends up biting them in the butt big-time.
