Due to complications, there were individuals who were not able to flee the country by boat. “Those who did not flee the country via the seas escaped Vietnam by dangerous land routes through Cambodia to Thailand” (Cao 7). As for Uong experience, he escaped Vietnam very easily. “It was April 30, 1975, and Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, was under siege. I was 10, the youngest of eight children” (Uong 1). Only being 10 years old, he was forced to run away from home in order to search for a better life. Hoping that he and his siblings would make it to safety, Uong parents told them to leave. Uong stated, “My parents, hoping to get us away from the chaos, told my brothers and sister to get on our bikes and ride away. When things calmed down, they said, we should come back” (Uong 2). After they had ridden away, they were able to see a “small South Vietnamese navy ship

According to the PowerPoint presentation, the Hmong had been migrating since about the late 1770’s. The exact year that the Hmong came to the Wisconsin was 1976.

The 1965 Immigration Reform impacted the development and growth of the Asian American community within the United States. The reform set a number limit to those who could enter the States in order to maintain the quota and control the flow of those individuals. Many viewed the reform as a balancing act that the government created to ensure equality for those who entered; it was not determined by race or other advances they had. This reformation took over the quotas that was written and set in 1924 which did not allow the migration of Asians into the States. The 1965 reform generated more opportunities for the migrants to take the chance at a better life.

There’s no doubt that the migration of people has greatly influenced the present, as will the migration of people today influence the future.

Before the first wave of migration, the United States took part in the Vietnam War which started the first wave of immigration. For over centuries, Vietnam was under Chinese and French controls. After World War II, the French withdrew from Vietnam and American troops entered with a request from the South Vietnamese government; who asked for American support and interest against the North communist.
