Let’s give the Senate a hand for getting the Filipino vets measure through its doors, though not before overcoming a tough amendment that wanted to put U.S. vets first.
I’ve spoken passionately about the Filipino vets issue for over 25 years. But let’s save the celebration until the House is able to get its act together.
Heretofore, that has not been easy.
Nancy Pelosi has been far from the ally people expected her to be.
But now the pressure will be for the House leader and her members to follow the Senate and do the right thing: give the Filipino veterans the equity they deserve.
