The Influence Of Filipino Immigration To The United States
Philippines, a nation of over 7,000 islands, is a country that contains different cultures and influences. These influences originated from previous settlement of Spain and the United States. The Filipino immigration to the United States first started when the Philippines became a territory of the United States in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War. A large number of the immigrants arrived in Hawaii as laborers in agriculture and domestic services. Filipino Americans make up the nation’s second-largest Asian American group. “The Filipino immigrant community in the United States jumped from 105,000 in 1960 (1.1 percent of all immigrants) to 1,844,000 in 2013 (4.5 percent)” (Batalova & McNamara, 2015). Today, Filipino Americans are

    Research Paper About Filipino-American

    The subject of my interview is Rob Reyes. He has been our next door neighbor since we moved here to Indio six months ago. He is a second generation Filipino-American that was born in America and has lived in California all of his life. Rob is 26 years old and has been married to his wife Sandra, 27, for 2 years. They don’t have any children, but do plan on having some once they save more money and the economy gets better.

Rob is a technician for Time Warner Cable and has been employed with them for 7 years.

    Mexican And Puerto Rican Immigration In The 19th Century

    In the 19th century, before immigration started booming, only a small percent of America’s population was Mexican. Mexicans were in the same boat as Negros; they weren’t treated with any American promise of equality, nor did any treaty or laws protect them. Ignorant Americans treated them as inferior because of their foreign customs and appearances. The Americans that rushed to California to mine gold in 1849 were accompanied by Mexicans, which they didn’t appreciate because the Mexicans were skilled miners and were profitable. Soon, the Mexicans, or “californios,” were prohibited from owning mines or skilled jobs.…

    Underutilization Of Asian-Americans

    Psychology has started to recognize the significant between-group differences among Asian Americans. Specifically, researchers have recognized that the collective ethnic identity of Filipinos is distinct from the experiences of other Asian American groups because of the pervasive historical impact of Western influences, which include Spanish and American colonization (Root, 1997). The history of the Philippines, with its colonization by Spain and the United States, and the subsequent trends of immigration into the United States form a context through which practitioners can better understand Filipino Americans (Sese, 2008). Nadal (2008) indicates how the colonization of Filipino culture has impacted religion, language, and cultural self-perceptions. It is important that psychologists understand this unique context in order to provide meaningful, professional support that Filipinos will seek out. The goal of the present study was to better understand the determinants of psychological help-seeking patterns of Filipino Americans by examining specific aspects of enculturation and colonial mentality. No research to date has examined how colonial mentality is related to help-seeking attitudes. Filipino Americans and Colonial Mentality As a result of colonization, Filipinos may be susceptible to developing a colonial mentality (CM) (Nadal, 2008) whereby the colonizer's values and beliefs are accepted by the colonized as truths, and the customs of the colonizer are accepted as being superior to those of the colonized (Strobel, 2001). Similar to the concept of internalized racism, CM includes "beliefs about race, ethnicity, religion, language, cultural practices, traditions…

    History of Immigration to the United States

    In the USA xenophobic fears against the alleged "Yellow Peril" led to the implementation of the Page Act of 1875, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, expanded ten years later by the Geary Act. The Chinese Exclusion Act replaced the Burlingame Treaty ratified in 1868, which encouraged Chinese immigration, provided that "citizens of the United States in China of every religious persuasion and Chinese subjects in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience and shall be exempt from all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country" and granted certain privileges to citizens of either country residing in the other, withholding, however, the right of naturalization. The Immigration Act of 1917 then created an "Asian Barred Zone" under nativist influence. The Cable Act of 1922 guaranteed independent female citizenship only to women who were married to "alien[s] eligible to naturalization".[5] At the time of the law's passage, Asian aliens were not considered to be racially eligible for U.S. citizenship.[6][7] As such, the Cable Act only partially reversed previous policies, granting independent female citizenship only to women who married non-Asians. The Cable Act effectively revoked the U.S. citizenship of any woman who married an Asian alien. The National Origins Quota of 1924 also included a reference aimed against Japanese citizens, who were ineligible for naturalization and could not either be accepted on U.S. territory. In 1922, a Japanese citizen attempted to demonstrate that the Japanese were members of the "white race", and, as such, eligible for naturalization. This was denied by the Supreme Court in Takao Ozawa v. United States, who judged that Japanese were not members of the "Caucasian race".…

    Asian Immigration Research Paper

    Gaelic landed on Honolulu Harbor with the first wave of Korean immigrants. “The boat carried 120 men, women and children, who made up the first significant group of Korean Americans.” Most of these men and women would become cheap workers and laborers on Hawaii’s booming sugar plantations. Throughout the next several years over 7,000 more Koreans would immigrate to Hawaii to meet the large demand for their low-wage work. Most of these immigrants were men. Many of the Korean workers married picture brides, who were chosen through a process of exchanging photographs between America and Korea. 3 “The Immigration Act of 1924, one of a series of anti-Asian exclusion laws, put a virtual end to immigration from Asia, preventing even Asian spouses from joining their families in America. Koreans did not – because they could not by U.S. law – immigrate to the United States for over 25 years.” 3 Many Koreans came to the United States to seek help in freeing their homeland from Japanese rule. But Korea wasn’t freed from the Japanese until the United States took victory in World War II. The next large wave of Korean immigration started during the Korean War which was in 1950 to 1953. “The largest wave of immigration from Korea – and the largest wave of immigration from all of Asia – began with the passing of the Immigration Act of 1965.” 3 For the first time in the history of the United States, immigrants from all over were now allowed to enter America in…

    Puerto Ricans: The Philippines Vs. The US

    Using the Julian Go reading as my resource, a group who share a similar history as Filipinos are Puerto Ricans. Go highlights that both Philippines and Puerto Rico were both colonized by the Spaniards and was also eventually colonized by the United States. Both share the same struggles under American colonization, including both being termed as “unincorporated territories”. However, despite being similar in ways of colonization, Go also points out that Philippines received the more “lower end of the deal.” The United States saw Puerto Rico as more “deserving” than the Philippines because, unlike the Philippines, Puerto Rico welcomed the United States and their ideas of…

    Puerto Rican Migration to Nyc

    At first, few Puerto Ricans came to the continental U.S. at all. Although the U.S. tried to promote Puerto Rico as a glamorous tourist destination, in the early 20th century the island suffered a severe economic depression. Poverty was rife, and few of the island’s residents could afford the long boat journey to the mainland. In 1910, there were fewer than 2,000 Puerto Ricans in the continental U.S., mostly in small enclaves in New York City, and twenty years later there were only 40,000 more.…

    The Importance Of Mass Migration To The United States

    In recent years, the debate over immigration has grown to a greater magnitude. The first occurrence of mass migration to the U.S. dated back to the early 19th century with the first wave of immigrants arriving during the Antebellum period, where many Americans expressed the idea of nativism (keeping out immigrants). The second major wave occurred in the early 20th century during the Progressive era brought a resurgence of nativism with the formation of the American Protective Association. APA was designed to keep immigrants from taking American jobs. Today, immigration is a huge controversy with the recent election of Donald Trump as president of the United States in 2016. On one side, people argue that America should continue to maintain an open doors policy in order to support the American Dream. On the contrary, many argue that with the rise of terrorism, the U.S. should screen immigrants. Some even radically argue for a wall to be built along the southern border. Americans need to realize that this issue affects everyone. After all, immigrants from foreign nations are beginning to steadily increase and will eventually become the majority of the U.S. populous. Regarding the issue of…

    A Brief History of the Chinese in the Philippine

    According to The History of the Sung Dynasty or Sung Shi, published in 1343-1374, China already had trade relations with the people in the Philippines as early as the tenth century (AD 982) (Miclat, 2000). By the time of the Sung Dynasty (860-1127), Chinese colonies were already founded in some towns by the coast. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) , colonies were already found in the hinterlands (Agoncillo, 1990).…

    A Literary Criticism of the Novel the Firewalkers by Erwin E. Castillo

    Relation with other nations is one of the most important things for the United States of America today. As history have shown, the need for the connection with other countries had been existing since the late exploration period, where United States had just achieved their independence from the British monarchy and began their own conquest around the globe. The Americans are the second, yet the most celebrated colonizer of the Philippines. Until today, the Filipino-American bond is evident, from the highlighted date of July 4 as the Filipino-American friendship day, through Filipinos being the most excellent speaker and teacher of the English language in Asia, to the full coverage of the inauguration of the new leader of the US, President Barrack Obama. The camaraderie of the two nations has come a very long way.…

    Asian Influences on the Filipino Culture

    Before the Spanish period, the archipelagoes of Southeast Asia were under the influence of traders from the Hindu-Malayan culture, such as theMajapahit Empire, which was then supplanted by Islamic :D teaching by Muslims traders from Gujarat, India. Influences from the Indian subcontinent may be traced earlier to before the arrival of the Arabs and the Europeans during the 15th and 16th centuries respectively. The rulers of many of the islands were called Rajas, or Rajahs. An example would be the Visayas, said to be named after the last Southeast Hindu Prince Srivijaya.…

    Filipinos are once invaded by the Spanish colonizers before Americans and Japanese came in our country. When the Spaniards came to the Philippines, they wanted to establish the so called 3G (glory, gold and government). At first, they want to spread Christianity among Filipinos. As a result, our ancestors became too religious that even in this generation follow superstitious beliefs, especially our old grandparents. Secondly, they discovered that Philippines have rich and bountiful resources so they planned to get all of our treasures for them to become more powerful. Lastly, they wanted the Filipinos to become their slaves, and to rule over the Philippines.…
