Many, perhaps a majority, are natural born Americans. Thus it makes sense to recruit from the Phillipines as there are no visa issues, just the expenses of relocating. They grow up fluent in English, and for many of these English is there first language.

“Many, perhaps a majority, are natural born Americans”

not exactly:

Similar to American Samoa, the Philippines and the Panama Canal Zone were unincorporated US territories that Congress never extended birthright citizenship to. Consequently the people born in the Philippines prior to independence were only non-citizen US nationals, not US citizens. At the time of Philippine independence, non-citizen US nationality was stripped from those who got it by connection with the Philippines. See 8 FAM 308.6

for more details.

There have been some recent legal cases challenging the fact that American Samoans do not get US citizenship, but they have been unsuccessful. If they had been successful, the same logic could also imply that people born in the Philippines before independence are US citizens too.

So, you are a-okay with existing American citizen’s being denied their job and livelihood, over an unconstitutional jab mandate....being replaced with imported nurses?

Just clarifying.
