The postwar period was not a good time to find work outside of Chinatown. Despite discrimination, Dad's overriding sense of duty and loyalty gave him courage, strength and a willingness to sacrifice.

Later, he bought a taxi medallion to build equity.

It appears that the Republican controlled Congress and the Trump Administration cannot get anything done on the contentious issues of immigration. Right now, a slight bi-partisan majority in the Senate wants to provide a pathway to citizenship for young people brought to the US illegally as children (the so-called Dreamers) and will provide $25 billion for border security or a border wall.
