Stop the Deportation of Immigrant Military Veterans

The Issue

Servicemembers sign up to put their lives on the line in defense of the United States of America. Veterans deserve respect and support for their willingness to take risks on behalf of the country.

But immigrant veterans are being deported from the adopted country they love, discarded after answering the call of duty.

Promises made that America would honor their service, provide a permanent home, and a path to citizenship, were utterly broken.

Tell Congress that our nation's veteran's deserve better, that all immigrant veteran's must be recognized as nationals of the United States, and to stop the deportation of veterans immediately.

Sign the petition to send a letter to your representatives and to the chairman of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs.
