I have joined Senator DENTON as a cosponsor of S. 1698 because I believe we have a moral responsibility to assist the Amersian children in returning to the land of their fathers. The bill is carefully crafted. It will not open the floodgates of uncontrolled immigration. but will allow the Amerasians to immigrate to the United States under our current immigration laws. S. 1698 will allow Amerasian children from Korea. Thailand. Vietnam. Kampuchea. and Laos born after 1950 to apply for entry into the United States under the first and fourth immigration preference categories. Currently no such categories are available to Amerasians. The bill requires that each eligible child have a sponsor who will be financially responsible for the applicant for 5 years or until the age of 21. whichever is longer.
