No word yet on date for Eni's INA public forum
In an effort to gather public opinion and input on two pieces of proposed federal legislation to amend certain immigration provisions for American Samoa, Congressman Faleomavaega Eni will hold a public forum next month in the territory, with the date to be announced soon.The first proposal seeks to amend provisions of the federal Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) to allow foreigners who have been long time legal residents of American Samoa to apply for U.S. National status.The second proposed piece legislation would allow U.S. Nationals living in American Samoa to apply directly to the federal government for U.S. citizenship from the territory, without having to establish residency in the U.S. as is now the requirement.Speaking on his weekly radio program, the Congressman said the forum will provide the opportunity for the public to provide their views and opinions on these proposals. He said he wants to make sure that there is sufficient public input on these measures because they affect the territory as a whole.\Whether you agree or disagree with these proposals
