Ugh. Really? You know illegals can serve in our military, right? He was talking about them. He was saying if those who fought in oh, say, Iraq or Afghanistan, serve honorably, they should be allowed to follow the legal road to citizenship. We don’t require THAT kind of test of any other immigrants. Pretty steep, life on the line kind of thing.

Because the others are LEGAL.

You really do love the invaders, don't you?

Tough Sh!t,

I’m not interested in giving illegals a short cut to citizenship.

If they want to die for their country, let them die fighting against the corruption in Mexico!

Professor D,

Please how an “Illegal” can lawfully serve in the military.
Either they aren’t illegal, or they are LEGALLY on a LEGAL and current path to citizenship. An “Illegal” by definition, cannot.

I think you are totally FOS that you are a Prof/teacher of anything with logic like that.

Enlistment into the U.S. Navy, or any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess an Immigration and Naturalization Service Alien Registration Card (INS Form I-151/551 — commonly known as a "Green Card"). Applicants must be between 17 and 35; meet the mental, moral, and physical standards for enlistment; and must speak, read and write English fluently.

Note: The U.S. military branches cannot assist foreign nationals in obtaining admittance into the United States. Questions concerning immigration to the United States should be asked of the U.S. Embassy. Only after immigration procedures are completed and an applicant is legally residing in the United States may an application for enlistment be accepted.
