“The existence of “Chinese immigrants” confuses the whole world. There’s been Mexicans who’ve complained before, “The money that you Chinese people get stolen from you is enough for a Mexican to live on their whole lives. We Mexicans cross the border because we can’t survive anymore, and are just looking for a living in America. You’re don’t lack for money, you’re well-fed and healthy, why put yourself through this? Do you want to be beaten, raped, and robbed?”
So, one thing about immigration to the US that mostly doesn't get brought up - there's two kinds of illegal immigration. One where you come in legally, but stay past when you said you would. This kind of illegal immigration doesn't really bother people (unless you start committing *actual* crime), but it gets lumped in with the other kind (i.e., "you never had permission to come in the first place") for political reasons.
And then *that* gets lumped in with *legal* immigration, also for political reasons.
(And that's even before getting into regional variance)
Is there any information on which kind of immigration we're talking about for these "chinese immigrants"?
I don't understand the woman stuck on the highway. I understand how her car can be stuck, but surely she can just get out? Why is it harder for her to walk to the nearest village than for the villagers to walk to her?
Month-sitting-nurse sounds like such an interesting experience but while we hear from a lot of people who hire them I don't remember reading any posts from somebody who has that job. What's it like? What kind of person goes into it?

I'm curious, what term are you translating as "Westaboo"?
