Are the American people prepared to see it through including the resettlement of the nonCommunist resistance fighters if they once again have to flee their country? I visited with the nonCommunist groups at the Thai border. spoke directly to commanders who wanted guns to lead their troops back. and frankly I had little confidence that these troops would be effective against either the Khmer Rouge or the Phnom Penh forces. And another thing you cannot forget is that we have resettled in the United States through our refugee policies so many of the cream of the crop of Cambodia. and none of them are going to leave California and other States in the Union to return to run their government. Keep that in mind. If you believe that when they get there someone of the soldiers is going to be the Ministry of Agriculture or some other government officials. that is going to be tough. I wish them well. But a lot of their remarkable leaders are in California or somewhere else in the United States. and they are not about to go back. They came as refugees. They have adjusted status. Some have not.
Identified stereotypes
The speaker generalizes that Cambodian refugees who resettled in the US will not return to help rebuild their country.
