Now. almost 10 years after Vietnam and over 25 years after the Korean war. the United States still has its back turned to Amerasians. We must no longer choose to forget our own sons and daughters in Asia. We must pass legislation to allow Amerasian children to come more easily to our country. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. H.R. 6514. would permit Amerasian children under the age of 21 with sponsorship or under adoption to freely step foot upon our shores. I strongly support this legislation. but it will come too late for one very special Amerasian girl named Kang Ok Boon who will turn 21 on August 15.
