Filipinos who fought for the U.S. in WWII never saw benefits. A new bill seeks to change that.

When I worked for a department store in Cerritos, California, from 1980 to 1988, I knew a Filipino man who was a guerilla who fought against the Japanese as a teenager. He was able to immigrate to the USA, but I'm sure many of those Filipinos who served are no longer alive, and many of them probably went to Canada because Canada always had a shortage of workers.
it's so sad. Here were I live in Canada, the entry level jobs at donut shops and restaurants or medical facilities, janitors are mostly Filipinos. They also could be guest workers brought in to work while others could be immigrants and resident aliens like I am.

What's really dumb is they pay? Japanese americans, twenty five thousand dollars back The 19 80s, but yet crazy left. The democrats now are trying to give reparations to African Americans who had nothing to do with slavery just to get votes.

Bankrupt, California can't do it. And that wasn't a slave state to begin with.

It's so sad. The Philippines was AUS territory from 1898 to 1946.

I know nothing of this particular situation. So I will not comment on specifics. But I will offer the generalized statement that we, as a nation, have a horrible track record for honoring our foreign commitments. It is good to see one being honored (or at least movement in that direction), but still troubling that it has taken this long.
