Filipino Americans have made great contributions to the growth and prosperity of our Nation. In the 37th Congressional District of California. the Filipino American community has contributed immeasurable leadership and vision. As a result of these contributions. the Filipino American community deserves the respect and gratitude of this countrys government. Unfortunately. some members of the Filipino community have not been accorded such respect. Amerasian children. children of mixed heritage borne by Philippine mothers and U.S. servicemen. have been denied the right to immigrate to the U.S. In the spirit of todays House resolution. I would ask my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to join me in sponsoring my bill.
