Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada's First District released the following statement today on the Obama Administration’s announcement of a new program to improve the immigration system and make it easier for family members of Filipino World War II veterans to come to the United States and reunite with their family. 

“I am proud to have an active group of Filipino veterans in my district. For far too long the visa backlog has prevented many of these heroes from reuniting with their loved ones. With most of our Filipino World War II veterans in their nineties, we must not wait another moment to address this critical issue," said Titus. "I applaud the President for taking action to fulfill our promises to our Filipino World War II veterans and expedite reunification with their families.”
