Migrant Heritage Commission (MHC) : Now is the time for Congress to pass the the 2013 approved Senate Comprehensive Immigration Bill that includes pro- vision to speed up backlog on Green Card Visas. This bill includes a historical overdue provision that granted children of Filipino Veterans Green Cards immediately on humanitarian grounds. A concrete alternative is for the Dept. Of State under the recent Nov. 20 Executive Action to expedite and remove visa backlogs! But we should not lose sight of the main demand of our heroes and beloved WW 2 Veterans: Full Equity or Compensation and Benefits equally received by those who served with valor and sacrifice so we can enjoy the freedom and democracy we are enjoying right now; the lump sum,one time payment of $15,000 -$9,000 to our heroes is a good start. But justice requires equality in benefits as their WW 2 American counterparts: Full Compensation and Family Reunification are not too much to ask for the great contribution they have given to our great American Nation : (Rev. Atty. Arnedo S. Valera, Co-Exec. Director, Migrant Heritage Commission)
