- From reading Lee “The making of Asian American” and the film, I learn that Europeans thought of Asian as Polar Opposite to their own as they heard of Asian riches of goods, land and culture which the Europeans do not have. Many set out to search for Asian. What surprised me was how Asian get half the pay compared to Spanish even if Asian are more skilled and also Filipino were known as “Indians” back in the day. What I already know is how Asian left their country to settle elsewhere for different reasons. What motivated Asian come to America is because of Dominion, the control of other countries whose conquer Asian has made their Asian to flee to American to escape from it. Group of people are from China, Philippines, and others. They land in Mexico, Peru.
- The stories today about immigration are not the same as before as today they have given freedom and they do not stand out as much. I believe their reason to migrate is the same and also different. People migrate because they want to have a better life, education and freedom.

Hi,
I defiantly agree that immigration is so much different now than is was back then. Immigrants were safe and provided a better life for themselves and children with out a problem. Now once the government finds out that a person is undocumented, they most likely get separated from there loved ones and/or are sent back to there country, which could be dangerous for them.
Hi, Vannkya
I also agree with you that immigration is definitely better than it was in the past, especially with the guidelines and rules we have in place to help new immigrants. Especially with the point you have brought up of how migrants come for a better life which is most especially true. My parents just like most migrants came here for a better life and to provide for a better life for their family. As a Filipino myself, I never knew that we were considered “Indian” until it was brought up in the article and it goes to show how little the Europeans knew and it was really in their brain that they did reach “India”.
