<description>With the shortage of workers now in the U.S.A. owing to massive deportation of long- stayed illegal aliens of any nationalities; undoubtedly, the sons and daughters can fill the void in a legal means for they were already petitioned, it's just a matter of waiting. Thus, the RFB should hopefully be taken into consideration; not-to-mentioned, they can take care without worry their aging veteran fathers in the U.S.A....</description>

<description>I hope the FRB gets approved...i'm a grand child of a war veteran, i'm already over 21 and our petition has not moved for the longest time. (our priority date's dated at september 1992 i think.) anyhow, i am employed in the Philippines and living a fairly stable life. I want this bill approved not for personal gain but for my Lolo, who at 78 years of age is still trying to work and living alone in a trailer. being a daughter, i know how distraught my father must feel because he cannot take care of my lolo... :( i hope this gets approved soon so that my Lolo can enjoy his remaining years...it pains me to think of other families in the same situation, being away from a loved one is truly hard...hope this, along with the equity bill gets approved soon......</description>

<description>To honor &amp; recognize thier bravery &amp; loyalty they have shown during WWII it is hightime that these filam vets grants thier long overdue request by passing the Filvets reunification act into law. They deserves to be loved and cared by thier children before they will join with thier comrades who has been RIP for long years back.  It is so sad to learned that these ageing filamvets still continue fighting in the battlefield armed with canes and not cannons. When will these ageing filvets ends thier journey? There numbers are diminishing day by day. Is there a victory ahead of them? Unless the US government would act to rescue them now, they will vanish and die with regrets......</description>

<description>Hmong veterans of Vietnam were able to bring their family right away after being naturalized US citizen. In fairness to FilAm veterans the US Senate &amp; Congress should reclassify children of FilAm veterans as non-quota immigrants....</description>

<description>US Congres approval of this Family Reunification Bill will fortify the US image for being the &quot;VANGUARD OF DEMOCRACY&quot;! WWII was said to be in defense of Democracy except in terms of treating equally all soldiers who shed blood side by side with the US Armed Forces in the Far East.  Thus, enacting the bill into law will be a vindication for the US....</description>

<description>As of now March 3, 2008 we have not seen the approval of the FRB awaited by many Filipino vets children. We were petitioned by my father in June 1993 and until now we our priority visa are not yet current. Hope the US Congress will act with dispatch on this FRB because many vetarans are already in their late 80's. GOD BLESS...</description>

<description>fil-am vets residing in US will be happy if the alternative bill passed by sen. burr and sen. craig (Republican oppositons) will be enacted into law together with the family reunification bill ASAP. I wish sen. akaka and other proponent of the equity bill will support for the amendments because america is now in economic crisis, may be they are not capable to pay all fil-vets in the phil. this time. thanks for this oppositions' move....</description>

<description>Year 2007 was a distressing one for us because of the disapproval of the new immigration bill until such time that my family decided to settle in U.K. But upon comparison with life in U.S., I am still opting to settle in U.S. because of the high standard of living here. I am thus praying for the FRB to be approved this year. Regards....</description>
