I honor the service of the Lao and Hmong veterans to the United States. and appreciate the great personal risk they faced when they chose to help this country. I am pleased that many of them have chosen to make the United States. and my home state of Wisconsin. their adopted homeland. In my view. Mr. President. this bill. which would expedite the naturalization process for 45.000 Lao and Hmong veterans and their spouses. is the least we can for the help repay the huge debt we owe these brave individuals. I have had the opportunity to meet many Lao and Hmong veterans and their families as I travel throughout Wisconsin. I am struck by the profound importance they place on becoming citizens of the United States.
