How do you get into the united states ahead of ohhh around some 14 million other people waiting in line to enter the legal way?..easy.. declare yourself as a activist with a democrat goveremnt and any of our liberal bastion's of higher education will hire you to fill the brain's of all the new sheep coming to classes next year..of course it helps to be a former communist.

The brutal Chinese Communist Party has murdered 80 million of its own people since 1949 and since 1999 has be attempting the genocide of tens of millions of innocent Falun Gong practitioners by the use of torture, slavery, organ harvesting and murder.
The fact that Western countries are dealing with this cruel gangster regime is due to the lack of responsibility of our media and our Governments because of corporate greed. What goes around comes around! America is now close to bankruptcy while the Communist Party is laughing all the way to the bank.
This is just my understanding, thank you.

China's little irritant is solved by Hillary and Obama's new foreign policy diplomatic solution to dilute an irritant...no longer called a political asylum but NYU's "free" educational asylum with all the fringes and friends with benefits ..I. hope somebody else is paying or coming out of Hillary and Obama's own pocket or China's President HU..and not the American taxpayer

Fail to understand why we would be importing more RABBLE-ROUSERS. Seems to me we have enough demostice produced ones. Will probably cost the taxpayers far more than the average immigrant.

Chen Guangcheng.....was against forced abortion in China...I wonder what he thinks about our government sanctioning abortion as a womens right to chose issue?
Yes I am aware one is forced...the other A Right to chose....I still would like very much to hear what he would say....Interesting.

Yes CommonSense456 I agree with you 100%...I wonder if The Media would even ask that question based on their history...However, I think it is a valid question given the fact he was in a sense not politically correct in speaking out against China's 'forced' abortion policy.

This is one. How many more Chinese Activist will the US bring to our nation? Hundreds? Thousands? Maybe China will send all of their prisoners to the USA.
It's only money we give them while they live here. Obama fell right into the GOP's plan when they criticized him for not helping Chen Guangcheng.

The numbers of racists and bigots on this thread is truly sick-making.

no we are just tired of having OUR tax money BLOWN on crap that has no bearing on jobs for the us--infrastructure--schools--or the pork belly projects of each and every congress person. Also what about the people here who pay taxes and can not have the liberties of the country they love. you know those whose famlies date back 150yrs have always paid taxes, I just wonder how much this is costing are you paying the bill or is clinton/obama I don't think so. Don't we have enough people trying the legal way that takes time to get here.

The Obama administration screwed this matter royally. They had to save face and they granted him a visa. Who's the blind one here? The American people are.....suckers!

Chen is planning on attending NYU. The tuition at NYU is about $40k a year. Who is paying for that? If it's a "donation" or "free" from the University...well, they'll find a way to tack that bill on the backs of the students.

We the taxpayers of course!

Obama should pay for the education and living expenses himself along with hillary xlinton.

Why?

American February, He is not even paying for his aunt and uncle that came here illegally. And the aunt and uncle are not paying their own way either, as they are in subsidy housing, have extra medical expenses etc. If you come here illegally and want to stay, it helps to have important relatives.

i'm all for freedom and supporting the building of democracies in places that don't allow it...but I'm tired of this guy. we have Americans that can't afford to go to college or who have elected to serve this country in the armed forces who can't afford the basics of healthcare and here we are spending a LARGE sum of taxpayer money to bring this ONE guy over here so he can do what? his message will never reach the general population of China. they sent him here to SILENCE him.
