Putting the responsibility in your country's government to help others in your community is a lame argument. You are an experienced English teacher. 1000's of legal immigrants in L.A. wanting to learn-improve their English, all you have to do is call your YMCA, etc. and volunteer 1-2 hrs a week. My English is so-so and I help others in my community 2 times per week to learn English (poor adults at night). I also tell these people that people is good everywhere with no exception.

When your conscience says the law is immoral e.g. If you think that the constitution of China is not acceptable to you. Then you are a Loser by coming to China.
