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.

Interesting note not in the article.

Jeff Schwilk, ( who has a very interesting history) founder of San Diegans for Secure Borders added comments, in the comments section that were ommitted in the article.

"These deported foreign citizen veterans REJECTED U.S. Citizenship when they were in the service, now they want to hide behind their service to be forgiven for their deportable offenses."

I wonder how a foreigner can reject U.S. citizenship while in the service. Is it possible one didn't apply because he didn't know ? or was it offered and rejected.

they are illegal aliens first, not veterans first.

Not sure if I can post this link to his comments. If this is wrong, mods be delete post.

should be interesting

Benedict Arnold was a Revolutionary War Hero before he turned traitor. Honorable military service counts as a huge positive UNLESS later behavior is criminal or otherwise dishonorable. Then the picture changes in accord with the later (mis)deeds.
