Mr. President. my amendment seeks to address and resolve an immigration issue that. while rooted in a set of historical circumstances more than seven decades old. remains unresolved to this day. I am happy to say I am joined by Senator REID. Senator DuRBtE. Senator INOUYE. Senator BOXER. Senator MuRRAY. and Senator CANTWELL. It is an issue of great concern to all American veterans and citizens with an interest in justice and fairness. In 1941. on the basis of 1934 legislation enacted prior to Philippine independence. President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an Executive order through which the President invoked his authority to: Call and order into the service of the Armed Forces of the United States all of the organized military forces of the Government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
