Vietnam. I just want to read two paragraphs from this letter and ask all of my colleagues to sign it. As we see it. the problem is not Vietnamese refugees. but a Vietnamese government that is one of the most oppressive in the world. And we reject the argument that most of the boat people are simply economic migrants. As one writer put it. "The term economic migrant. with its odor of money grubbing opportunism. is desperately seeking that same freedom." Indeed. in totalitarian societies such as Vietnam. blanket persecution is the norm. which makes us question how it is that only one in ten boat people in Hong Kong is granted formal refugee status. Please stop this tragedy. Mr.
