"Vietnamese American reaction to the accord allowing deportations to their homeland is conflicted, often bitter. To US officials, a new pact announced this week with Vietnam, allowing the government to deport illegal immigrants, was almost routine: a straightforward matter of treating Vietnam like other nations. But for many among the tens of thousands of immigrants, nothing about their homeland is routine. The announcement of the long-negotiated pact has stirred sometimes-bitter debate within a community where loathing of Vietnam's communist government remains white hot."
