有电影为证,《龙年》、《唐人街》。著名的句子,“Jake, It's Chinatown."
有事例为证,1993年六月,货轮Golden Venture在NYC搁浅,286名非法偷渡的中国人,像诺曼底登陆一样冲向QUEENS的海滩。(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Venture)
有新闻报导为证,1998年的《TIME》:New York's sweatshops are often small, nonunion operations with fewer than 20 sewing machines and manned almost exclusively with illegal aliens in Chinese enclaves like Sunset Park in Brooklyn or Flushing, Queens. According to Lam, a recent Department of Labor study found that 90% of the garment shops in Chinatown were in reality sweatshops. Most of the shops in New York, about 70%, according to Lee, are owned by ethnic Chinese; and 40% of their products go to two major buyers: Wal-Mart and K Mart. Virtually all pay by piece rate, and only a handful of workers are able to produce enough to approach the minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. For most, the pay has dropped to $2 an hour or less.

二十年后会怎么样?谁能预测一下?帮孩子们建议一下?
我是有些担心中美商战,弄得跟美日当年一样,也够呛。
