"I find it appalling," says Ryan. "My family has been here since the 1600's. I'm a 3rd generation Texan. We've looked into moving to Canada, but I'm too old and too poor to go anywhere. It's the land of the free and it's appalling. Lan's been treated like an animal. And I'm not allowed to live with my wife in my country."

Recently, Lan and Ryan bought a new television screen. Ryan remembers hesitating over the question of whether to hang the screen on the wall. Deep down, he still doubts whether tomorrow he'll have a family in the family room anymore.
