The homeland of their parents is just another foreign country. and they often do not speak its language. But. as the law stands now. these children must leave this country when their parents die or retire. Or they must leave when they reach maturityleaving their families here in Americaand return to a strange land where they are "citizens." This separation of families runs contrary to own own longstanding policy of family reunification. The bill I introduce today would make it possible for some employees of international organizations and their immediate familiesI expect no more than a few hundred a yearto remain In the United States after many years of service and residence in the United States. Such a law seems in the best interest of the United States. the international organizations. and the men. women. and children who would qualify for residence under its terms.
