Grief Stricken Family of USC Chinese Grad Student Ji Xinran Murdered Last Month in Los Angeles –Image: L.A. Times@Twitter
(The Nanfang) Four Hispanic teenage thugs charged in the grizzly murder of 24 yr old USC Grad Student Ji Xinran from China, plead ‘Not Guilty’ according to the L.A. Times Tuesday in Los Angeles and are being held without bond.
The four Hispanic teenage suspects are accused of beating Ji Xinran to death with a baseball bat as he was walking home in July, from a study group.
In April, 2012 I wrote here about the cold blooded murders of two Chinese USC Grad Students Ming Qu and Ying Wu and asked, When will the Rev’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, head to Los Angeles to protest and demand justice for the two Chinese Grad students?
Where’s the moral outrage when Black or Hispanic Thugs murder Chinese students? When will the race baiting so called Civil Rights champions of the left, demand that we have a ‘conversation in this country’ about Black and Hispanic Thugs targeting Chinese immigrant students?

(World Journal/Zi Yuan Gao) The U.S. Military Accessions Vital to the Natl Interest (MAVNI) allows certain non-citizens who are legally present in the United States to join the military and immediately apply for U.S. Citizenship without first obtaining permanent residency status.
The MAVNI program is only available to legal aliens possessing critical skills–physicians, nurses and those proficient in certain languages with associated cultural backgrounds.
Non-citizens have served proudly in the military since the Revolutionary War–the ‘Lodge Act of 1950’ permitted non-citizen Eastern Europeans to enlist between 1950-1959
Today about 24,000 non-citizens are serving on active duty and about 5,000 legal permanent residents enlist in the Armed Forces annually. Today’s service members are eligible for expedited citizenship pursuant to a July, 2000 Executive Order and the military services have worked closely with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to streamline citizenship processing for service members.
Since 9/11 over 78,000 American Heroes have attained their citizenship while serving our country.
