FORGOTTEN FILIPINO VETERANS

Stef Kight at Axios outlines the administration’s treatment of foreign-born service members and veterans, pointing out that 17.3% of immigrant veterans were born in the Philippines — second only to Mexico at 17.5%. Meanwhile, Tony Taguba, a retired U.S. Army major general and chairman of the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project, calls on the White House to halt its plans to eliminate the Filipino World War II Veterans Parole Program in an op-ed for The Hill. “The policy enabled elderly Filipino World War II veterans to have their family members join them in the United States to provide care and support, and it has had a profound impact on the veterans and their families who are now together and able to care for one another and provide support on a daily basis.”
