HONOLULU: A US senator is co-sponsoring legislation that would allow the children of Filipino World War II veterans living in the United States to become permanent US residents.
The Military Families Act was introduced this week by Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii and five fellow Democratic senators.
The Filipino soldiers were offered US citizenship in exchange for fighting alongside American troops more than 60 years ago.
