  1. That the European view Asia likes a place that is truly the polar opposite from the west. Their impression of Asian was to describe bizarre creatures, alien plants, and strange customs of the east. And define Asia as the other world. The story of Marco polo where it talks about the Mongolian leader having unique customs, mountain streams of the diamond, and so many golds and silver that you could believe existed. The thing that motivated the Spanish were the quote “god, gold, and glory”. Also, the growth of taste demands more imports such as silk, sugar, and other spices. That the Philippines was the seat of the Spain pacific empire because the Spanish found the island and conquest in 1565. The first migrant from Asia to America was Filipino. That the Filipino arrived because they are crewmembers and also was involved in the Manila galleon trade; they arrived on ships that were on a voyage. The Los chinos were of the Asian descent who was married to the locals. That they settle on the pacific coast and cities of Acapulco. The biggest reason they wanted to move to the Americas was that they thought that there was hope and hope for a better existence, which is an irony that Europeans feel the same way about Asia’s society as well. Unfortunately, instead of negotiating with them, they wanted to try to invade Asia because Europe found them different than others.
  2. These immigrant reports back then vary significantly from what we learn of immigrants now, because back then people may come and live without any complications, but now, as soon as the government and ICE find out about any undocumented migrants or citizens who have overstayed, they put them in cages and isolate them from those who love them without fair court trials. The reasons I believe that these things have shifted are because of egoism, that the United States should not “rob its work” towards other nations.
