US Congress
“Greetings,
There are more than 52,000 Amerasian children in The Philippines and Japan; these are children of American fathers.
Despite being born to American fathers, these children can’t come to America and reunite with them, because of Public Law 97-359; Amerasians from these countries cannot take advantage of Public Law 97-359 or other existing provisions of law.
These children have American blood, they should be American citizens. I urge you to pass legislation to grant US citizenship to America’s forgotten children from Japan and The Philippines.
This legislation would grant US citizenship to children born out of wedlock to American citizen fathers (mostly military men) with foreign women overseas.
