Seo received 130,000 US dollars worth of financial support from the government of south korea. Seo has cashed in all the South Korean tax payer's money that received when he left for the US. Seo also claims that his child was a victim of discrimination and harassment from school. The child's home teacher vehemently denies that she discriminated against the child, and that she feels sad that accusations against her is taken as truth and she feels victimized. She also pointed out there were four other defector students, and that she had paid particular attention to them because they were North Koreans. If the US feels that taking in such phony refugees and immigrants is justified, then fine. But I think the US tax payers should know what the facts are first. Seo is a liar.

Do you think it will stay a 'few hundred'? “I do not think a few hundred North Koreans will make much of an impact.”

Do you think it will stay a ‘few hundred’?

Burge flipping at McDonald's or some decent work for the US intelligence apparatus.

I assume that they supported the applicant's petition - which would usggest that this was a very political act, aimed squarely at South Korea.

Of course the same thing could be said of the Nicaraguans and Salvadorans who came to the US in the 1980s and they are still with us. In any case, with around 11,000,000 illegal alians in the US, I do not think a few hundred North Koreans will make much of an impact.

Whatev. To put a finer point on it, I don’t give Lefkowitz, the State Department, or the Administration any credit here whatsoever. State was of no help to Mr. Seo on his way through the Iron Curtain or the Bamboo Curtain. The only government action that “facilitated” anything for Mr. Seo was the Border Patrol’s failure to catch him when he crossed the Tortilla Curtain. That’s hardly the way we want to accept refugees into this country. Barring evidence of that Seo was persecuted in South Korea, then, I echo this comment by Andy Jackson at the Marmot’s Hole: Frankly, I would much rather see the US getting North Korean refugees via, say, Mongolia or even Europe. North Koreans are legally citizens of the ROK and I would much rather see our asylum spots going to refugees on the run rather folks who want to upgrade countries.
