Please tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Resolution 80 Senator JUDITH PAULETTE GUTHERTZ, you should be telling the truth. Other letters and/or editorial in past that you have written to the Marianas Variety about Resolution 80 has so many wrong issues and different arguments. Please read what you have written, you are the one saying that you don’t want those hard working foreign national workers, because they are unskilled factory workers or farmers.
By the way, my father was once a foreign national worker and is now a proud Guamanian, a United States Citizen a hard working skilled farmer for more than 30 years in Guam. I respect my father who is a skilled farmer and all the other farmers in the island, they are hard-working skilled individuals. Never did my father as a farmer apply for food stamp or welfare, he paid my college tuition with his hard work as a skilled farmer. I have nothing but respect for all farmers in Guam and within the CNMI.
If this was an election season would you be this bold, I doubt it Senator. The Marianas Variety is telling and writing the truth if not they wouldn’t have published my letter and comment.
Yes I am proud, I am the only one who testified against Resolution 80 because it is an unfair Resolution. Where did you get your numbers of 15,000 foreign national workers, finally you admit I was correct they will be “non-immigrant” since you kept saying “green card holder.”
Thank goodness that I kept updated to the hearing of your Resolution 80 since it was misleading in the website of the Guam Legislature as a presentation and not a hearing. Yes, I do have a strong feeling about people who introduce selective legislation. I never make any incorrect assumptions, please Senator your the one who made incorrect assumptions. Read all your pre-hearing writings about Resolution 80. I was the one who pointed out the difference between “non-immigrant working visa” and “immigrant visa” if you remember.
You know Senator, I don’t usually get into political debates unless it is an election season. I make sure I know what I write or say, I strongly believe I did not make any incorrect assumptions and misleading statements. I have nothing to gain from not telling the truth and incorrect assumptions. I stand with my feet on the ground and my head high to say I am telling the truth. I welcome the Mariana Variety Editorial staffs and managements if they have any questions based on my testimonies.
Yes, I Mr. Antolin still strongly claim that the foreign national workers from the CNMI are not the problem; they are the answer to Guam’s shortage of skilled workforce. Garment factory workers and farmers are skilled workers. Senator my father is a very skilled farmer.
You talk about training, why don’t you introduce legislation to train the local community? If you have problem with the Federal government don’t use the foreign national workers from the CNMI as your weapon. Its unfair Senator.
Also when does a “non-immigrant visa worker” ever get welfare, medical and food stamp benefits?
You want the Federal government to reimburse Guam for the “Compact” issues, don’t use the foreign national workers in the CNMI as your weapon, its unfair.
Yes, I stand by my statement that there is a big difference between hiring these skilled Filipino-descent foreign national workers from the CNMI and those who might be hired from the Philippines. My argument makes a lot of sense, I am willing to brief the Senator on all these issues, then again you have enough staff to do research.
I have never said, about “non-immigrant” about having no skills coming to Guam. I stand again with my statement, that the majority who will benefit from the CNMI Federalization are Filipino Foreign National Workers from the CNMI who are skilled workers, I stand strongly with this statement.
Let me give you some advice Senator, when new “immigrants,” not “non-immigrants,” when new “immigrants” are petitioned by their families to come to the United States, did you ever heard of “affidavit of support” when someone file a family petition. You have enough staff that you pay, research this because new immigrants to the United States including Guam and especially immigrants from the Philippines don’t come to Guam for the single reason so that they can get Food Stamp or any welfare. What more if they are “non-immigrant” status. I have never heard of H-1, H-2, B-1, B-2, etc etc getting any social services. Unlike the Compact which gives automatic social services.
Yes, why the urgency? Yes, I may be the only one making noise and wait a minute Senator racially-based comments are what is written in your Resolution 80. I am just clarifying your Resolution, especially the “Resolved Clause” on page seven (7) of your Resolution 80.
Again, playing safe, the majority of those who will benefit from the Federalization of the CNMI on the immigration “amnesty” program are mostly of Filipino descent who entered the CNMI legally. Not the human trafficking from China. Your Resolution 80 does not even mention the other good issues of the CNMI Federalization and the legislative intent of the U.S. Congress.
Senator, one thing I have learned living in Guam and it is my home, that Guam does not require you to give up your heritage. Living in Guam it encourages you to take your heritage and melt it in everything else that Guam has to offer. Resolution 80 discourages for you to melt together with the island community. Ai Adai Senator!
