The Dalai Lama said that?Good for him if he did.Tibet had 17% of its population wiped out in 1959-I remember that.The Tibetans never threatened anyone and they’ve been treated like nobodies by the world for decades-just because they don’t commit terrorist acts against innocent bystanders no one really cares much about them.We only admit about 1,000 a year as refugees-in my 21 years as an INS agent i never heard of a single Tibetan refugee involved in a crime.I’d as soon give them 10,000 visas a year-they’d be a benefit to this country.
