Faleomavaega Clarifies Intent of U.S. Citizenship Bill

What is this?

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Congressman Faleomavaega today clarified the intent of a bill he introduced to make it easier for U.S. nationals living in American Samoa to become U.S. citizens, if they so choose.

“Recently, the Governor has publicly expressed that he strongly opposes the legislation and, while I respect his right to oppose, I disagree with his position,” Faleomavaega said.  “Also, given that the Governor has made statements that are not factual, I believe it is important to clear up the misinformation he has relayed to the newspapers and radio.”

“First, Governor Togiola states that H.R. 6191 will force U.S. citizenship on U.S. nationals.  This is not true.  The bill is about choice, not force, and only applies to those U.S. nationals living in American Samoa who choose to become U.S. citizens if they wish to apply,” said Faleomavaega.

“Secondly, the Governor states that this legislation is contrary to the findings of the Future Political Status Study Commission which recommended that American Samoa not seek U.S. citizenship for its people at this time.  Again, this is false.  The bill does not make citizenship automatic for American Samoa’s people.  The legislation states that the intent of this legislation is to allow nationals to become citizens by more expeditious means.  In other words, it speeds up the process.  It does not make citizenship automatic.”
