makes sense
Your comparison makes sense. It seems that the immigration policies, then, influence significantly the ultimate relationships people have with Panama: when the immigration policy (and economy presumably) supported one type of immigrant seeking labor, now they support a different type of immigrant, and not surprisingly, that is what they get.
I hadn't realized that the Chinese had been there so long, but as you explain it it seems to make sense. But I do remember one Panamanian telling me that it was only in the last 10 years that the Chinese stores had put the Panamanian stores out of business. Are these the same old wave of chinese, or a more recent set of immigrants, who are involved in retail in Panama now?
