Otherwise, don’t let illegals join the military.

I absolutely reject the concept of illegals being permitted the honor of joining our military.

I don't care about the circumstances. They need to be deported upon identification as an illegal alien.

What I do approve of is legal guests and visitors who enter legally and then decide that service is an ideal means to pursue permanent citizenship.

But breaking the law initially and then using the military as an "out" for the consequences, I can't agree with.

We can do much, much better for the quality of peers we send to serve with our sons and daughters.

It makes no sense at all to have a citizen of another country fighting to defend our country. What about when the oath they take when joining our military conflicts with their citizenship in their native country? People shouldn't have allegiences to two countries. With dual citizenship, they are like fence sitters - can't decide one way or the other, but want the benefits of both.
