How does our immigration system treat veterans?

Today Miguel Perez Jr., a wounded veteran who did two tours of duty in Afghanistan, is at risk of deportation over a nonviolent drug offense.

A legal permanent resident, he has lived in the US for nearly three decades, since age 8. He came home from war with PTSD and fell into drug addiction.

After serving 7 years in prison, he is now one of thousands of veterans at risk of deportation.

Follow and support bills introduced by Rep. Juan Vargas (CA) including the Immigrant Veterans Eligibility Tracking System, the Healthcare Opportunities for Patriots in Exile (HOPE) Act, and the Naturalization at Training Sites Act.
