| dc.description.abstract | Many industries in the United States have historically relied upon and continue to recruit and exploit workers from the Philippines. This trend reflects the supply and demand structures of labor migration first established when the Philippines was a colonial holding of the United States. The development of the Philippine economy cannot be divorced from its colonial relationship with the United States. Even after formal Philippine independence, the United States controlled the government and economy of the islands. By examining the colonial relationship between the United States and the Philippines, this Comment attempts to explain why political action, popular support, and global sympathies have failed to result in meaningful legal protections for Filipino laborers. Despite widespread and ongoing political action, Filipino laborers continue to be among the most exploited in the international labor market, a fact that is made glaringly obvious in the insecure times of a global pandemic. | en_US |
