The Golden Venture in the News

NPR Two-Part Series on Fujianese Immigration

Irene Jay Liu reports on undocumented immigrants
from Fujian Province.  Part I (Nov. 19) offers
impressionistic accounts from New York City's
East Broadway and towns in Fujian Province,
along with a discussion of fake marriage as a way 
for immigrants to enter the US "legally."  Part II
(Nov. 20) follows the Fujianese smuggling route,
from Bangkok through Belize in Central America,
next to the Mexican border.
