This article seems to be asking for Mr. Horne's response, but shouldn't 
a personal correspondence be sent through E-mail?  Since it's posted on
public newsgroup, it should be OK for anybody to jump in his opinion.

First of all, I believe everybody should have right to choose where 
he/she wants to live (or die). No political bullshit involved, if you
think you can live a more comfortable life in the U.S., you should be
granted something green to stay here, if you can't find a job, you 
should get welfare if you have paid your tax. If you think you will 
have easier life in China, you go back to China. Immigration law is the
first thing that against the original creed that says all men are 
created equal. You are not created equal with Amerians, are you? They 
don't need visa for going almost all countries, you need it for even 
going to Hungary. America's human rights says all men are created equal
if you are born here (well, not exactly).

Secondly, Concerning UNCERTAINTY, I really don't see why you don't have 
that in the States. At least, I am now living in deep UNCERTAINTY. Some
people say it will open up 12000--14000 CS jobs in Canada by 1995. 
Others say how come I don't find one. If you are talking that you would
be mistreated by the third or fourth generation of kernel leaders in
China, how do you explain Chinese people being beaten up in Vancouver 
street. Besides, I do think China is no longer a country that used to
be under Mao's rule, and Chinese people are no longer that ignorant 
like they used to be. Even DXP has to admit, no reform, they will be 
kicked out of the power. As I said,if you don't want to be a public 
figure, just do your own research, who cares you like DXP or not.
They are more worried about their stayng in power than you are worried 
about your uncertainty.
