Mr. President. there is a longestablished precedent for granting waivers to groups who fought bravely on the side of U.S. forces in defense of freedom all over the world. U.S. law has allowed those who fought with us in WWI and II. the Korean war. and the Vietnam war to be naturalized. regardless of age. period of residence. or presence in the United States. It has also been allowed for those who served with us. but were not technically part of U.S units. In the 1990 immigration bill. Congress adopted a waiver for Filipino scouts who served in World War II. Many of them have now become fullfledged citizens who participate in the democratic process.
