In late 1989. some 800 or so Polish and Hungarian citizens were paroled into the United States by our Attorney General. They have been stuck in this status. which gives them the right to reside here Indefinitely. ever since. As parolees this small group of people cannot obtain citizenship or even obtain permanent residency status. These people have lived in this country for over 6 years. established homes. and become productive members of American society. Yet without action by Congress these Polish and Hungarian parolees can never obtain legal Immigration status. These 800 or so parolees did not come here Illegally. Our Attorney General saw fit to grant them parolee status and they have been here ever since.
