Op-Ed | Delegate Kathy Tran on the Immigration Crisis
/July 5, 2018
Kathy Khanh Linh Tran, Delegate, 42nd District, Virginia House of Delegates
In 1979, my parents and I were refugees, escaping from Vietnam on a rickety boat for several days. My mother remembers that on the night we left our homeland, there were no stars in the sky - it was so dark that she could not tell where the ocean ended and the sky began. As we left the shores into this watery abyss, she wondered how we would survive.
