Servicemembers sign up to put their lives on the line in defense of the United States of America. Every American can agree that our Veterans deserve respect and support for their willingness to take risks on behalf of the country.
But we have a National shame on our hands here.
Immigrant Veterans are being deported from the adopted country they love, discarded after answering the call of duty in defense of liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. We ask them to join our Military and stand for our principles and they do so with great pride. They deserve the highest respect awarded, period!
Promises made that America would honor their service, and provide a permanent home, and a path to citizenship was utterly broken. This is a national disgrace. It must be reversed. Human dignity and respect must be the hallmark of who are as a nation; not this!
We need to tell Congress that our nation’s veterans deserve better; that all immigrant veterans must be recognized as nationals of the United States, and to stop the deportation of Veterans immediately.
Change.org has created a huge petition drive. I kindly please ask you to sign the petition to send a letter to your representatives and to the chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
