Ju Hong&#8217;s story presents another dimension to the immigration debate, one of the children of illegals. Deporting these hopeful and aspiring ones, in some cases promising individuals with a bright future shows that comprehensive immigration policy can quickly wash over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to what some may think, Korean-American society has its greaseballs too &#8211; played brilliantly by Jun Kim in West 32nd. The crime drama had an eerie sense of familiarity, so accurately capturing the essence of immigrant society in New York City&#8217;s Korea town. Of course there were the familiar sights &#8211; W 32nd St. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Surprisingly, this story doesn&#8217;t get much play in the American media. Perhaps it&#8217;s because of North Korea&#8217;s history of brinkmanship &#8211; saber-rattling just to get attention and turning confrontation and bluster into negotiations that reward it with food, fuel and other concessions. Maybe we all know they&#8217;re gonna be released eventually and this is just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been making my way through Korean-American author Soong-Chan Rah&#8217;s recent new work The Next Evangelicalism. Now careful here, reading it is like gargling with salt &#8211; it stings on the way down but clears the sinuses of quaint tokenisms and so-called &#8220;color-blindnesses&#8221; that perpetuate faulty systems. Basic premise: while the de facto representation of [...]]]></description>
