Navy recruits 400 Filipinos annually. but does not extend to them the rights of permanent resident status. eligibility for U.S. citizenship. the opportunity to earn commissions. or to serve In 64 ratings that require access to classified information. Each of these 400 slots Is the object of Intense competition. There are about 250 applicants for each one. As a result. the Navy acquires 400 highly motivated and qualified recruits every year. It Is not only unfair to deny them immigration status. it Is also shortsighted. These people are contributors. not burdens. By removing the roadblocks to citizenship and career advancement. this bill serves the cause of justice.
