The Trump administration’s racism and cowardice knows no bounds as it continues forward in its intentions to end the Filipino World War II Veterans Parole Program (FWVP). The program, begun during the Obama administration attempted to help reunite Filipino veterans and their families in the United States while awaiting official federal decisions on their visas. The idea of the program is to allow elderly veterans the chance to have family members help support them in the states.

The President’s decision means many of these veterans in their 90s will likely die without seeing their families again. The depths of Donald Trump’s inhumanity where immigrants are concerned knows no bottom, but not even the most loyal of his supporters can be in favor of disrespecting the brave and distinguished service of veterans who fought alongside Americans and helped us win the war.

This includes battles to receive the full benefits and pensions afforded to military veterans and their families in the states. Read more
