Speech #960148981

They have worked hard and have yearned to become citizens. When they have attained the expected requirements. they anguish over the denial of citizenship for the mentally retarded member. The Immigration and Naturalization Service agents inform me that they too are anguished enforcing this law that separates the dependent retarded person from his loved ones. Therefore. I am introducing this bill to amend the present law to allow the mentally retarded adult alien who is accompanied by his family to become a naturalized citizen in the same process that a child of tender years may become a United States of America citizen. Enactment of this legislation will demonstrate the continued compassion of America for those in need while preserving the integrity of the family. Mr.
