[+] serious ballot by cranky created Tue May 31, 05 Ligaya Lagman is a permanent resident, and has lived in the US since 1983. She sacrifed a son in an American war. Should she be denied entry to the Gold Star Mothers because she isn't a citizen? "Gold Star group rejects noncitizen mother Associated Press Published Friday, May 27, 2005 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - Everyone agrees that Ligaya Lagman is a Gold Star mother, part of the long line of mournful women whose sons or daughters gave their lives for their country. Her 27-year-old son, Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Lagman, was killed last year in Afghanistan when his unit came under fire during a mission to drive out remnants of Taliban and al-Qaida forces. But the largest organization of these women, the American Gold Star Mothers Inc., has rejected Lagman, a Filipino, for membership because - though a permanent resident and a taxpayer - she is not a U.S. citizen. "There’s nothing we can do because that’s what our organization says: You have to be an American citizen," national President Ann Herd said yesterday. "We can’t go changing the rules every time the wind blows." Yes, she should be denied entry. No, she should not be excluded Register to submit choices Ballot #74395 : SEE RESULTS Comment: Register to submit comments You may still vote without registration show your vote with comment?
