There have been rumors circulating that call into question the harassment against my family.
Here is a statement from my wife Suphatra:
I came to the United States as an undocumented immigrant in the late 1980s. My mother brought me here to escape abuse and human trafficking in my native Thailand. I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire where we were the only minority family.
I experienced a lot of intolerance growing up. I remember being refused service in a restaurant. I remember boys holding back the doors at my school so I couldn't get in, yelling "go back to your country." I remember the school librarian asking me if I was a child prostitute in Thailand. I remember my college boyfriend being stopped at a grocery store and asked if he had purchased me abroad."
