Abstract:
Examines how the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 has devastated elderly Hmongs who immigrated to the United States in the 1970's to escape Laos following the US pullout at the end of the Vietnam War. The article discusses why the United States, in light of Hmong service to the CIA during the war, should treat the Hmong differently.
