H.R. 8851 wants to help soldiers from other countries who served in the U.S. military and got sent away or can't come back, by making it easier for them to become U.S. citizens. The plan is to let them take important tests and say special words needed to become citizens at places like U.S. borders or embassies.

The bill wants to help veterans who aren't U.S. citizens become citizens, even if they had to leave the U.S. before. It tells the government to make it easier for these veterans to do the paperwork and take the tests they need, even if it means doing it at places like airports or embassies.
