The press is always filled with the immigrant success story. But if there is a failure by an immigrant, the press always brushes it off. In an unusual departure from the vague description given to either black criminals or immigrant spies/murders/rapists usually involving "man" and the city or state the "man" was from, the New York Times was upfront about an immigrant failure story, or more accurately, an immigrant treason story.

And, no surprise, it involved a Chinese naturalized citizen, who committed treason and espionage.

WASHINGTON — The Navy is weighing charges of espionage against an officer who is a naturalized American citizen and has been under investigation since last year on suspicion of providing secret information to China and Taiwan, United States officials said.

The allegations against the officer, Lt. Cmdr. Edward C. Lin, 39, who was born in Taiwan, are part of a secretive espionage case in which Commander Lin is also accused of visiting a prostitute. United States officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly because the investigation into the officer is continuing, said Navy investigators believed that Commander Lin provided secret information to a Chinese girlfriend.

And Lin was poster child for immigrant success in America and the military.

For Commander Lin, who moved to the United States as a teenager, the allegations represent a huge reversal. The Navy had held him up as an example of what immigrants can achieve in the United States and in the military. The Navy featured his personal story in December 2008 in a public affairs report on his naturalization ceremony, which took place in the United States District Court in Honolulu.

The Chinese are conspicuous in treason and espionage, as in the example of the mysterious Eastern Tennessean "man" recently arrested for nuclear espionage, but not the only traitors among immigrants.

Muslim immigrants and their American born progeny, whether Shi'ite or Sunni, Arab or Iranian, are frequently disloyal as well.
