Immigration to the US is a problem Filipinos face when they decide to leave the Philippines for the so-called 'better life' in america.
In this blog i will look at a news article about a Filipina migrating to the US to attend her daughter's marriage.
There are many parts within this story but one that stands out is that, what the officer said and what the lady said contradicts each other.
'He claimed that he talked to her aunt, who allegedly told him that Grande will take care of her as a caregiver'
'She said the immigration officer's allegations are not true because her aunt didn't even know she was arriving in the US'

A Filipina Facebook friend ask us to comment on this, so here's my perspective:
Note: have a look at the link if you need to read the news article
We have to investigate who is not telling the truth here.
If her aunt is telling the truth and she is coming to the US to be a caregiver with a US visitor visa, without a working visa, the officer will do what needs to be done according to the law.
But if she is telling the truth, that she just wants to attend her daughter's marriage, then what she can do is , she can file a lawsuit against the officers.
Looking at Immigration from the perspective of currency value, let's ask ourselves these questions:
Why we are migrating?
Is there a hidden agenda of self-interest within our mind to earn 'under-the-table money' within being employed as a care-giver or in any job when we get to the US?
If the answer to this question is, 'Yes', realize that this is fueled by Fear of surviving within having to deal with a currency that has 'lower value' than the dollar.
The peso having a 'lower value', we fear surviving in the Philipines believing that this is too little to survive on, so in our desire to go to the US and earn in Dollars which has 'more value,' we end up getting into all sorts of problem with Immigration including deportation.
We even end up marrying someone for immigration purposes and we accept and allow this to happen.
We have to look at how we can make living in the Philippines financially rewarding like maybe doubling the minimum wage and look at how everyone who needs one like the poor - how they can have a Basic or Living Income Guaranteed from birth to death
At the same time we have exchange rates, where certain countries have a high value currency and others a low value currency, which is then used to transfer resources between countries done under the disguise of corporations – which are owned by politicians – creating monopolies that cause extensive poverty. The fact is that this transfer of resources in theory should benefit all the citizens of a country.
