At the same time address this issue of chain migration. You know, i have to call on my colleagues and President Trump to really stop using that term and abandon the offensive and misleading term of chain migration because it paints a picture that does not reflect reality. Immigrants cant sponsor entire families to come here. Our system allows american citizens and green card holders to join their families in the United States. There are numerous steps that families must take to legally immigrate to the United States. It is a long and arduous process that leaves husbands, wives, brothers, parents, waiting for decades. Many people die before they have a chance to be reunited with their loved ones again. So this image of immigrants coming in chains across our border couldnt be farther from the truth. The Immigration Service is processing visa applicationings for u. S. Citizens from 1994. That is 24 years ago. This backlog is painful for Many American families like feli. Feli is an immigra
And abandon the offensive and misleading term of chain migration because it paints a picture that was not reflect reality. Immigrants cannot sponsor their entire families to come here. Our system allows american citizens and green card holders to petition for some of their immediate family members to join them in the United States. There are numerous steps families must take to legally immigrate to the United States. Its a long and arduous process that leaves husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters waiting for decades.

Delegates representing 46 nations came to San Francisco in 1945. Representing more than 80 of humanity. All at war when the conference was begun, they came with hope born of common struggle. They came to design together machinery to end war, a curse which in 30 years had killed 40 million human beings. Maimed countless millions more both armed and unarmed. When the conference convened Franklin Roosevelt was missing. The man who helped weld together the United Nations together as a team and worked to keep them united had died before he could see his dream come true. But his words were in every mind and heart. President roosevelt 25 years ago, the American Fighting men look to the statesman of the world to furnish the work for peace for which they fought and suffered. We failed them. We failed them then.
