@mccarthy_keagan I have not personally encountered any Hmong people as far as I know but I thought it was cool that Green Bay got brought up in the text book for the first time #ch15msea

@massiel_school A3: I think we are so quick to group them together because at the beginning they were all refugees from a similar area that came to the US at relatively the same time #ch15msea

@KeegsHutMilly A1: Good question KeegsTheHut, The settlement patterns are different from other ethnic groups because initially they were so spread out, there were immigrants and refugees in all 50 states #ch15msea

@IanMcDowell13 The Filipino immigrants were highly educated and had a strong understanding of the English language, so there was no need to set up ethnic landscapes because they were able to find employment elsewhere #pgeog

@JedGalutira Filipino Americans are called the forgotten immigrants or silent minority because they did not establish enthoburbs or ethnic enclave like chinatowns, or little Tokyo #pgeog

@JackTho98777317 @MattLyn41673336 Yes! there were large populations in places like California and New York, I actually have a Filipino friend at SNC that is from Brooklyn, New York #pgeog

@IanMcDowell13 @JedGalutira The Tydings-McDuffie Act affects the Filipinos trying to come to the US for work because it limited the number of immigrants allowed into the US each year #pgeog

@JedGalutira I think that the second wave was the most important because most of the immigrants at this time came to the US for education, and in turn it influenced the US to establish a public school system in the Philippines #pgeog

@GeographyTim Good question Tim, I think the book said that they settled in rural areas because that is where they found work on farms moving around the country following the harvest season #pgeog
