Immigrants take jobs and opportunity away from Americans?
The largest wave of immigration to the U.S. since the early 1900s coincided with our lowest national unemployment rate and fastest economic growth. Immigrant entrepreneurs create jobs for U.S. and foreign workers, and foreign-born students allow many U.S. graduate programs to keep their doors open. While there has been no comprehensive study done of immigrant-owned businesses, we have countless examples: in Silicon Valley, companies begun by Chinese and Indian immigrants generated more than $19.5 billion in sales and nearly 73,000 jobs in 2000.

Will you still leave the Philippines if it offered better job opportunities?
Nope, I will not leave my home country if it offered better job opportunities.There are several reasons why we consider working abroad. 1. We want to provide the best life for our family. We, Filipinos, greatly compromise for our family's sake. May it be for our parents, siblings, spouse, or children, we’ll do anything just to give them the life they deserve – even if it’ll cost a 'little' sacrifice.2. We were raised to think that a successful career means working abroad. When we were little, our parents look up to friends or family members who work outside the Philippines. Our parents instilled in us that these people are a role model to follow. That our goal after college should be building a career elsewhere but not here. Nevertheless, they want the best for us. 3. We want to experience new things. After college, we want to explore and search for our purpose. We want to test ourselves if we are independent enough to migrate alone. Our young souls want to wander and try different things, outside our comfort zone.In contrary, there are several reasons why we should not work abroad. 1. The Philippines needs us. Let’s make the Philippines better by working here. Many professionals already left this country, and our countrymen need us. As young professionals, we really have to start somewhere. It may not easy at first but working here will all be worth it. 2. Never leave our family alone. We only live once. And spending quality time with family after work is one thing we should think of when we consider working abroad. It feels good to see you parents, spouse, and children after long hours of work. Life’s so much fulfilling with their presence. 3. We have great job opportunities here. All we have to do is seek. Jobs nowadays are everywhere. One click and you already applied for a job position you want. Maximize job portals like LinkedIn, JobStreet, FilWorx, Freelancer, and Kalibrr. There are over thousands of job openings in these sites.4. It’s not all about money, money. Better job opportunities do not always mean bigger compensation. Sometimes being HAPPY with your career is the best feeling ever. If you are passionate and dedicated to your job, I’m sure, financial stability will chase you.
Is there any truth to the belief that slave breeding led to today's sport dominance by African Americans?
Slave breeding for the purpose of creating better traits in offspring was not widespread and had little impact on the size and strength of African Americans today. A larger role that slavery played in the involvement of Black people in sports would be the automatic placement into poverty. This continued well after slave times through prevailing attitudes about the place and demeanor of black people, Jim Crow laws, inadequate education in black areas, discriminatory loans and hiring practices, etc. etc.This explains why there are so many African-Americans in Basketball and not so many in say, Speed Skating. Both Speed Skating and Basketball require superior physical fitness, but poor kids are more likely to have access to a basketball than they have to speed skating equipment. This socioeconomic issue also points to involvement in sports as a whole. With less opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities besides sports, sports are more likely to become the focus.Even now as the majority of African Americans are in the middle class, there is an issue of what black people should do. As in, "Can you see yourself as a speed skater?" "No, I've never even seen a black speed skater. Speed skating might even cause people to call me whitewashed." Whereas in football, basketball, and track, there is the strong support of Black role models and a history of blackness that makes these sports look like correct things for an African American to pursue.So the answer is, no. Poverty stemming from slavery plays/played a larger role than selective slave breeding does/did.
Do you think women have more opportunities than men ?
No absolute answer. However, I think many feminists seem unable to grasp the idea that choice is a quality we should all be allowed to exercise. For example, if a woman wishes to become a builder (as the poster above reckons they should be) she has every right to make that choice but there is ZERO obligation on the employer to accept her unless she can prove she is equally qualified as a male competing for that position. And why should there be an obligation? It would be like a person who is 5'6" making a choice to become a pro basketball player.. great make the choice, but why should the NBA choose you just because that's what you want. They have wants too.. which are just as important. So are we going to introduce genda quota systems next to ensure exactly half men and half women fill every simple job type..
How I envy American students?
I'm sorry. Can you repeat that without the sarcasm and sense of superiority?
English help do you agree with this?
The choice between agreeing with the ideas expressed and rejecting them seems to be an extension of the either-or, yes-no, on-off, 1-0 logic of base-two mathematics on which computers operate. Right or Wrong? “A caterpillar gazing at the butterfly is supposed to have remarked, “Waal, you’ll never catch me in one of those durn things.” Marshall McLuhan gave that as an illustration of how people seem to hold on to what's familiar, and extol the benefits of what they grew up with. The point is: a new way of doing something often seems to be a contradiction of the older way. Using a reed dipped in dye to write on parchment was revolutionary, compared with using a pointed stick to make dents in soft clay tablets to record laws, observations or someone’s ideas. Reading McLuhan, people realized that tools are extensions of our hands, the wheel is an extension of our legs, the microphone and speakers are extensions of our voices, the camera is an extension of our eye. . . . Television is an extension of the tribal campfire; we gather around as a global village to recount the events of the day. No one had PC’s, smart phones, or the internet in 1964. So, if we were restricted to the use of pen and paper, I would not even be aware of this question, and would not have been able to enjoy to opportunity to develop a creative response. And dust off my copy of Understanding Media from college. The keyboard and monitor are extensions of pen and paper. The internet is an extension of the Library at Alexandria, the Pony Express and the One-room schoolhouse. Thanks for posting. Best Wishes with your paragraph. feel free to quote.
