There’s an estimated 270,000 undocumented Filipino immigrants in the United States. A friend of mine just added herself to that list late last year.

I haven't really heard or read about anyone being worried about Trump deporting undocumented immigrants back here. It's like the government doesn't care. There's already too much drama going on here with the former dictator getting buried secretly with 21 gun salute from the military and our very "colourful" president

Thanks for sharing the life of undocumented workers in the U.S...
I hope that the new administration finally resolves the immigration system and gives work permits, just like the Germans gave guest worker permits, to those with essential skills. My son in law owns a business and can't find enough qualified hard working Americans. He plans to hire immigrants.

You're most welcome. I fear for my friends there but being a non-American I don't feel it's right for me to give an opinion

Hearst Castle was really good
We visited Hearst Castle a few years ago and we liked it. However we went to another gigantic private home turned into a museum that we liked much better - Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. If you ever have the chance of going there don't hesitate to do that. Ake
