I spoke with a young lady who was a telephone agent for a LARGE based in America company. I suspected when I heard here flient english and polite nature that she was a filapina, and she confirmed my thoughts.
She said she wanted to move to the USA someday. I replied that I hoped we were still around...
I didnt say she would get here quicker if she appeared at our southern border, speaking only spanish,and only if the coyotes that she woud have to pay to get to the border didnt decide to sell her to a brothel instead.
Hi, Boowoknew,
There are many, many Filipinos who became American citizens the right, lawful way, including joining the US Navy. Back then, joining the US Navy was a sure path to financial success. They should be especially galled at what has happened that you describe.
Given how poor many Filipinos are, it still may be better for her to come here than to stay i the Philippines. However, the same is not true for American born who have accumulated some net worth. For them, moving to the Philippines means a very easy life, among generally wonderful people in a beautiful country. Sounds nice to me.
