I am here today to talk about a bill I will be introducing that rights a wrong and corrects a terrible injustice. I am introducing legislation called the Kendell Frederick Citizenship Assistance Act of 2005. This is legislation was inspired by a young man from the State of Maryland. who was in the Army. had a green card. was serving this country. though not a citizen. and was killed while serving in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on his way to be fingerprinted. on his way to become a U.S. citizen. He died on his way to become a U.S. citizen because of the failed and flawed information he was given by our immigration system. He was a terrific young man. who came to this country when he was fifteen from Trinidad. He joined his mother here in the U.S. and wanted so much to be part of this country.
