@MattBougie1 Certainly, if they are qualified. The text also talks about how they have such a high English proficiency even before arriving to the US. #ch16swasia

@SuzyBogue Kathy Najimy from “Hocus Pocus” had Lebanese American Parents

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@SuzyBogue A1:The text talks a lot about the push factors- economic and political hardships and the pull factors- prospects of better economic future in the US #ch16swasia

@persianofntrest It seems to be leaning towards more of a Confucius gender role in the traditional sense, but then weighing heavier towards women being the bread winners after immigrating to the US. #CH15MSEA

@massiel_school Maybe because the impact of the Vietnam war has impacted all these groups so tragically#CH15MSEA

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@persianofntrest @JackHanauer @IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly Pg. 351 mentions US policy toward first wave refugees and then it goes on to mention the local volags aiding in urban areas. #CH15MSEA

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly Great point. The text explained this move to concentrated areas as policy began to break down after first wave refugees were able to function as sponsors to later waves. #CH15MSEA

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@KeegsHutMilly A1: Resettlement patterns were guided early on by US government policy to disperse first wave immigrants as widely as possible in order to quicken assimilation. #CH15MSEA

Q8: Why do Filipino Americans mainly rely on local events, and activities to connect to Filipino culture? #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@CaitlinKruege10 @JackMarkham17 @JackHanauer @GeographyTim maybe we should include "#mabuhay” #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

Q5: Why were Filipino Americans called, “the forgotten immigrants” or “silent minority?” Do you think that title bothered them? #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

@persianofntrest @JackHanauer @JackMarkham17 If there was a Filipino restaurant around Green Bay I would totally be their number one customer! #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

[Jed @JedGalutira]

Q3: Which wave of immigration seemed the most significant or different than the others? What made that wave the most significant to you? #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

They said his main reason to come to the US was to travel and make more money. After some time working in Hawaii, he wanted to see more of the mainland and ended up settling in central California, still following the harvest and agricultural jobs. #pgeog

Interesting personal experience. My grandpa was born in Ilocis Norte province of the main island of Luzon in 1903. In this chapter between 1907 and 1929 more than 100,000 Filipinos were recruited to work in the Hawaiian islands on plantations(p.305, Map 13.1) #pgeog

[Jed @JedGalutira]

When I asked my parents about him they told me he had gone to Hawaii to work during that time. However, he had lied about his age and used his older brothers identity because he was too young to work. #pgeog
