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.
These veterans were convicted of CRIMES before they were deported.
That is the framework,the government had in mind.
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’...
Serving in the military does not mean that we overlook your crimes after you are discharged.

More criminals. What a great idea!
The thing is they did not live up to their part of the agreement. They did not follow the process/laws in place.
They committed crimes, so they must not become citizens.
That didn’t work out so well for Rome. Only loyal citizens should serve in our military.
If they committed crimes they ought to be deported...
just like they agreed to be ...
If these were illegal aliens they should be deported..
If they were registered aliens they should be deported...
If they were registered aliens they agreed in writing and swore with by a raised right hand to the rules..which included deportation for crimes...

U.S. military veterans who were deported after they were convicted of crimes.
A break please This press is so foul it’s difficult to not use awful curse words
They are repulsive
That lede was buried deeper than Jimmy Hoffa.
Barajas was deported after a crime — he fired a gun. He was honorably discharged from the Army, and after serving a prison sentence he was sent back to Mexico.
Edwin Salgado ...was sent back to Mexico after a conviction on drug and weapons charges. He spent a year in prison.

>> “If you served honorably you ought to rate a citizenship.” <<
“Deported after they were convicted of crimes” seems to stand out in this article.
Any immigrant that has been naturalized, then convicted of crimes can have the same fate.
.
Actually, no matter our military demands I do not favor the enlistment of foreign nations EXCEPT with procedures that include the simultaneous application of the request for citizenship, and with a speedy application process that uses the DOJ background check and seeks completion of the citizenship application by the end of their 1st enlistment.
As far as past practices, the rule of law as it is/was should apply; provided upon a hearing, the law was clearly made known to the foreign enlistee. If operational practices did not make the law transparent, a good conduct discharge should make it possible for judges to grant some leeway.
Typical Compost semi fake news story. Below are the simple requirements for non citizens to serve in our military. Below is the reality:
Undocumented immigrants may not enlist in the U.S. military.

Immigrants serving in the United States military has deep historical roots. Non-citizens have fought in and with the U. S. Armed forces since the Revolutionary War. According to One America, nationally, each year around 8,000 non-citizens enlist in the military.
While individuals are paid for their service in the United States military, the decision join the military is entirely voluntary. Each branch of the services has different requirements for enlistment, but there are some standard requirements that all the branches hold to.
Among these requirements is that only individuals who are U.S. citizens can become commissioned officers in the United States military. Those who are considered US citizens also include citizens of Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Non-citizens are eligible to enlist in the military but can not be commissioned.
A non-citizen must meet certain requirements to be eligible to join the military. The must have an Alien Registration Receipt Card (stamped I-94 or I-551 Green card/INS Form 1-551) as well as a bona fide residence established with an established a record of the U.S. as their home. If the non-citizens comes from countries with a reputation of hostility towards the U.S, they may require a waiver.
The federal government cannot petition on behalf of an illegal immigrant so that they can obtain legal status and be able to enlist in the military.
In order for an immigrant to join the United States military, they must first go through the immigration process of the USCIS (previously known as the INS) and then and then begin the enlisting process. Another requirement is that the Green Card and/or visa of the immigrant desiring to join the military must be valid for the entire period of their enlistment.
