I was watching a 30 minute clip of historical movie emailed to me from a friend. The title was The Filipinos in America 1930s bu KCVT public Television. Many Filipinos still under American colonial control immigrated to America, working as farm workers along with Mexican farm workers. Filipinos flourished and many became affluent in the town of Stockton California. Because Filipinos were getting affluent with good houses and cars and the American dream, they were becoming a threat to the White Americans. In the 1930s the US Congress actually pass a law, approved by US Senate and President, limiting the Filipino immigrant to 50 Filipinos per year, even if Philippines was a colony and our resources were being drained by America. I feel sad to know these facts and I can sympathize the Black Americans of their plight which is still going even today inb 2008 as I see the CNN news. I think America is going down and it is not as powerfull as it was once. Many can match its fire power many times over the distruction of the world. Bombs does not matter anymore as bombs owned by other countries can annihilate the world and annihilating all mankind including Americans. What matters now is the people support to a country because of goodwill, diplomacy, peace, and respect for other people. America is now beligerent country, deceitful, only known recently because of the advent of internet bloggings where America could not control the world public media. Before, only good things were being heard by the world. Today, everything good and bad are not filtered to the world outlet. Filipinos should not close their minds or focus only to one view. The world is very wide to see and the internet is making the world even more clearer to see.
