There remains one issue that many people seem to know little or nothing about, and this concerns orphaned children fathered by Americans overseas, most of them servicemen. In Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, and Japan live hundreds of thousands of these children who are denied citizenship. Many can prove their heritage and still cannot come to this country. The American government claims that these children will not be allowed because they are products of prostitution and the government feels it should not take any responsibility for them. These children are called Amerasians.

American servicemen fathered plenty of children in Australia during World War II...indeed some were even prosecuted for "Breach of Promise." The United States of America and her agencies might use the term "benign neglect" but I would use the term MEAN SPIRITED. My amoral father had the same name as me except he had no middle name. The Kennedy Roman Royal Family had a lot to do with changing US Immigration laws during Jack's presidency. Sirhan Sirhan was then allowed to immigrate to the US and he assassinated Robert Kennedy.
