Trump loves vets so much, he wants as many of them as possible to go back home. Trump Ends Obama Program That Lets Families of Filipino WWII Veterans Stay in the U.S. Bryan Ke· November 8, 2019·2 min read The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced its intention to terminate a parole program that intends to help Filipino World War II veterans and their families. In an op-ed for The Hill published on Nov. 5., retired Major General Antonio Taguba has called out the decision to terminate the Filipino WWII Veterans Parole program. “This year, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a notice that it intended to terminate a program intended to support our veterans, known as the Filipino World War II Veterans Parole Program,” Taguba said in his piece. “The same government that recognized the ‘bravery, valor, and dedication’ of the Filipino World War II veterans and announced that it was ‘forever indebted’ to them is now turning its back on them once more.” The parole program, which was announced by former President Barrack Obama in 2014, allows family members of Filipino WWII veterans who have approved I-130 family-based petitions to enter the country as they wait for their visas to become available. They can also apply for a permanent resident status during this time, AsAm News reported. However, on Aug. 2, the USCIS announced the termination, citing individuals were able to “skip the line and bypass the proper channels established by Congress” as the reason. “With the termination of these programs, these individuals will no longer be permitted to wait in the United States for their family-based green card to become available, consistent with the rules that apply to the rest of the world,” the announcement continued. The termination of the parole program is part of the Trump administration’s initiative to limit immigration. continues at nextshark.com
