This amendment makes it easier for military service members to become citizens. The provisions of this amendment cut through the red tape. First. it requires Citizenship and Immigration Services. CIS. to use the fingerprints the military takes when a person enlists in the military. so a service member doesnt have to keep getting new fingerprints. Second. it requires the creation of a military Citizenship Advocate to inform the service members about the citizenship process and help with the application. Third. it requires CIS to set up a customer service hotline dedicated to serving military members and their families. Finally. it requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct an investigation into what is wrong with immigration services for our military. No one should ever again have to go through what Kendell and his mother went through. I am proud to stand here today with Senator KENNEDY to offer this amendment named after Kendell Frederick. just as his mother asked me to do.
