#1 "arested...two Chinese-born residents on espionage charges"

Kind of explains what FDR was concerned about in 1942 when he established Manzanar etc.

The underlying problem is that we have to use Chinese (and other immigrant) engineers and scientists to do the jobs Americans won't (or can't) anymore. We can't produce enough engineers because we won't teach math - anything with right or wrong answers might damage little Johnny's self-esteem.
