How do you feel right now?

That's good info to know. I don't want to inadvertently offend someone of Indian heritage over there.

But, it's amazing how people are so thin-skinned nowadays. I got called names when I was younger. I just shrugged them off. Eventually, the other kids got tired of it and started calling me my surname and when they got friendlier, my nickname.

on the other thread no fat shaming daw...

ano daw?

political ka na daw?

obvious na obvious naman Trump's admin is anti-immigration

Kaya nga e. It's crystal clear and President Cheeto is not even hiding the fact that he doesn't want immigrants in the country. I agree with keeping illegals out because that's unfair for other legals. But Trump wants BOTH illegals and legals out. Make America White Again talaga.

That's a fact. Tayo-tayo nga dito sa Pinas, nagkakasamaan pa ng loob kasi yung iba dyan akala nila nakakalamang sila.

Bruh... not only on the philippines... politics are everywhere...


Now, it’s even harder for me to go to midwest...

The USCIS only assumed immigration duties back in 2003 because of 9-11. Prior to that, it was the US Embassy who handled them. To me, it looks like the immigration process is going back to the old system like the way my wife had to go through back in the 90's. The notices already said USCIS duties will be handled by embassy staff. I don't see that as keeping out legal immigrants. There will still be a steady stream of Pinoys immigrating to the US. Of course, screening will be a lot more stringent like it used to be. I have no problems with that. Paperwork will also take more time because they have to be mailed to the US for processing and then mailed back. That too I have no problems with because that was the way it used to be.

I remember the interview my wife had to go through. She spoke flawless english. She was charming. She let it be known she's pro-US. She spoke about how she wanted to work and improve herself. The embassy clerk didn't even bother with the other interview questions. He said it was just a formality. We spent the rest of our time there chatting about some bases he (ex-USAF) used to be stationed in.

I went to the interview alone and I was only asked about my family and what I do for a living in the Philippines. I was barely asked anything. I didn't even have to charm them or show them that I am pro US. My papers were even incomplete (no ITR) because I did NOT want to leave this year so I was hoping that this will delay things (I managed to delay it for 3 years).

Not all Filipinos are dying to live in the US. I just feel for those who want to come to the US legally to start a new life, earn better or be with their loved ones.

It will be different soon. I for one favor those who have a sense of gratitude for the country that gave them a better life rather than those who see the country merely as a source of income.
