Mr. President. it has long been evident that our immigration system needs to be reformed. and the current debate on immigration is long overdue. I am pleased that this body is addressing this important issue in such a comprehensive manner. However. if the Senates debate on immigration is to be truly comprehensive. it must address not only its betterknown propositions and factors but also its lesserknown ones as well. My bill seeks to address and resolve an immigration issue that. while rooted in a set of historical circumstance more than seven decades old. remains unresolved to this day. It is an issue of great concern to Filipino World War II veterans and to Filipino Americans. and it ought to be an issue of great concern to all American veterans and citizens with an interest in justice and fairness. Before I discuss the specifics of my bill.
