Week 10 Exodus-Toward-Egypt: Filipino-Americans’ Struggle to Realize the Promised Land in America – Eleazar S. Fernandez – Sugirtharajah

There are many parts in this article I feel sympathy for since I as an international student from Korea. Like Filipino immigrants did, many of Korean immigrants also came to America for “American Dream” and failed to achieve it with a lot of frustration and despair. However, one thing different is that ever since the Korean economy became competitive with other developed countries, Koreans who come to the States  are no more longing for the “American Dreams.” The number of people is increased, who come here for education and go back to Korea. I guess this shows that the immigrants are still more engaged with financial issues to live a better life.
