Chin refugees those who arrived to USA feel safe and happy in their new homes in USA. Tha Tha A Chin refugee women in Texas said, "In Malaysia, I had never have a sound sleep for three years because I was always afraid of night raids. But here in USA I feel completely safe. I know that there is no more night raids, here in USA."
Hundreds of Chin refugees have been resettled to USA within the last 3 years. Many of them are known to have reunion with their family members those who left the country earlier due to on going inhuman military oppression in Chin State. A leader of Chin Youth Organization of North America said "After arriving to USA, it is obvious that we the Chin people help one another in our community. For example, a newly arrived refugee family does not have a car to go to groceries but the neighbors would surely help them and even help them to find a job where they have been working." As all of Chin people are Christian, they have Christian brotherly love to one another in terms of facing the challenges.
Mr. Uk, who was stay in Baltimore, Maryland expresses, "There is no Chin case worker in resettlement office but only Burmese. I can understand only a very little Burmese language. Sometimes interpreters are provided for me by telephone that is actually not preferable because by telephone it is very difficult to understand one another. Sometimes, I have many problems but I just try to ignore it." Hundreds of Chin refugees are in Maryland State, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Dallas but it can be seen that in all of those places only Burmese Case workers are employed in order to handle Chin refugees. A Chin University student in US comments regarding this issue, "There is a big misunderstanding that Chins are still called as Burmese. Actually Chins and Burmese are different nations. Chins are ruled and abuse by Burmese military government."
