Immigration Blues: Bienvenido Santos

In that story Bienvenido Santos was able to illustrate to us , how eager some of us -Filipino's  wanted to live in America . With that eagerness all the possible ways that can help us, we conquer! Eventhough the only way is to sacrifice our own self yet still persuade just to get what we wanted. Just like what happen in the story , wherein Monica - a teacher in the Phils. who wants to immigrate in US & wanted to stay their forever.And since her visa is only tourist  she find a way in order for her to be an American citizen & live their. So, she marries Alipio- a Filipino war veteran in Japanese time who live their. With that, Santos was able to show to us an example of  a selfish motive of marriage for convenience in the sense that Monica marries Alipio for personal interest.
