connie: well, the other thing was to be a merchant in chinatown.ather was so fortunate, he became good friends with a man named walter haas. walter haas was in his family's business, which was wholesale grocers. and my grandfather being, you know, a us citizen, he could travel back and forth. he was the agent for the haas brothers. every chinatown, a store represents a family. in fact, represents a clan, in fact, because it meant that the proprietor was a merchant. he could afford to have a family in america, and also for going back and forth, for immigrating and for traveling. he was a merchant, but he was early. he was here in the 1860s. his son was born in 1878 before the exclusion law, and he had other children born in san francisco. so they were american citizens, and still because of this anti-chinese feeling and the law against chinese laborers and the fact that in 1882 it--the law stipulated that "hereafter, no chinese is allowed naturalization to us citizenship." this has been the biggest cloud in all of, you know, american--chinese americ

connie has left the country. what does this say, but about who is to blame here and what was the motivation for leaving i think president and he has a history and reading to see it seems like was under threat. i think defeat off many previous have gone leaders is before us, off to violent political change. rebel forces have come after leaders and so in that sense he was, he was 2nd, but i think would many of guns will be disappointed by his hypocrisy, the contradictions in his messaging till yesterday, he was criticizing some leaders from year. ready than decades ago, who you know, who didn't leave and who fled in the face of such a existential threats. the fact that he was not able to politically hold the country together to even put up any kind of military to this. and i think that will disappoint many of his supporters, people who supported him in these last 2 election rounds. and i think finally, you know, there's a big question. why did he not do more to secure to deal with the taliban? obviously he said tha
