                    [Summary] => How many Filipinos are there in the US? Two million. Why don’t they lobby to get the US to pay up the US$30 million promised to the Philippines as part of the package for supporting President Bush’s war against terrorism?  That was how the conversation went between Israeli Ambassador Irit Ben-Abba and a group of Filipinos including myself when she invited us for lunch last Thursday. Indeed, if the world were that simple, I know some Filipinos in America who would be very capable of launching such a lobby and do a very good job of it.

Malaysia isn’t the only country cracking down on illegal aliens. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 last year in the United States, other countries hosting big populations of foreign workers, including several in the Middle East, have been planning to send home not only illegal aliens but even legitimate workers.
