It is mentioned farther down the article that they should have applied for their citizenship while they were serving.
I second the motion ...
I don’t understand how or why foreign nationals could become members of the US military - aren’t there concerns about security and dual allegiances? But if they did so and if they served honorably, I do think they should have a chance to become US citizens over the many illegals who’ve been granted amnesty.
Should have applied, should have not committed crimes but did neither. Tough spit, bye.
There are conditions and they didnt meet the terms. They had what was owed them in return for their service and messed it up. The blame and consequence are theirs alone.
Bye.
“don’t understand how or why foreign nationals could become members of the US military - aren’t there concerns about security and dual allegiances?”
A large number of US citizens are dual nationals. Many are not aware of their dual citizenship.
These veterans were convicted of CRIMES before they were deported.
That is the framework,the government had in mind.
And NEVER applied for citizenship.
deported... after they were convicted of crimes.
I'll refine that a bit:
If you served at least one full enlistment term,never ran afoul of the UCMJ (including Article 15),and received an "honorable" discharge you deserve special consideration for citizenship.
But,if at any time after your discharge and while your Green Card/citizenship application is being considered,you're convicted of certain types of crimes...regardless of any ruling by the leftist judge or prosecutor involved in your case...OUT YOU GO!

Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine.
Just sayin’...
Exactly!
He showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do.
Serving in the military does not mean that we overlook your crimes after you are discharged.
The moral of the story is that even if you served honorably in order to gain citizenship, don’t commit crimes before becoming a citizen.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine.
Just sayin’...
Once a marine always a marine

True.And Tim McVeigh served in the Gulf.
I suspect that I'm not the only one who recognized a small percentage of guys they encountered while in uniform as guys you'd be wise to avoid whenever possible.
Good one
