Unfortunately. the United States has no provision to take responsibility for the inevitable offspring of servicemen stationed or fighting overseas. Most European nations give the children born out of wedlock. parented by a citizen and a foreign native. the right to choose citizenship in the land of the father. Under current law. the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. these individuals can only apply for a permanent resident visa under the "Sixth Preference". relating to skilled and unskilled workers in short supply. and the "NonPreference" category which almost guarantees a 5to10year wait before immigrating to the United States. The United States was founded and continues to thrve o" a crassionate regard for human justice. We must not turn our backs on those children who trace their current misfortune to the circumstance of their birth. they must not be abandoned by this Nation as they were abandoned by their fathers.
