Petition To Amend PL-97-359

The purpose of this petition is to lobby President Bush to certify as urgent a Congressional Bill to amend PL 97-359 to include Amerasians from Japan and The Philippines as beneficiaries of PL 97-359.This law definately discriminates against Amerasians from Japan and The Philippines. Amerasians in these countries are ostracized in society and not accepted completely as citizens of the country of their birth and the country of their fathers has turned a deaf ear and blind eye to them.Amerasians in these countries have a high unemployment rate and are often dependant on Social Services for assistance.( There are currently over 3,000 Amerasians registered with DSW(Department of Social Welfare) of Olongapo City, R.P. alone. This does not represent the total population of Amerasians in the Subic Bay,R.P. area. It also excludes all other areas in The Philippine Islands.)

In the Pledge of Allegiance it states, “With Liberty and Justice for All.” Let’s hold true to this statement that we pledge and make this country and its laws fair and just for all who are of American parentage. Congress must positively address this issue, amendment of PL 97-359 would restore, fairness and family values to our immigration system and correct past government oversights. The United States is a humane society that respects human rights and strong family values, I do believe, that because of America being so great,that Congress should revisit and amend PL 97-359.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
