If you serve honorably, and have sign-offs sufficiently high from unit commanders, that should be grounds for earning your citizenship.

There already are, but this story isn’t telling the whole truth is it?

Service members get fast-tracked for citizenship IF they do the paperwork. Why didn’t he apply during those 7 years?

You have to apply. He never did.

He was here illegally when he enlisted.

He voted illegally in several elections.

[Uncle Miltie]

Legal.

Illegal.

There is no gray area.

Thank you for your service.

Too bad you didn’t ensure you were in a legal citizen.

Not my fault.

Your fault.

Canton’s story first hit the news cycle in 2020 when his application for citizenship was rejected by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. In February a federal judge ruled that his appeal was denied. Case closed.

' It is.

But it is not automatic.

You still have to apply and fill out the paperwork.

You get bumped to the front and a lot of things are waved but not the filling out the paperwork and applying bit.

And the reason it is that way is because of choice.

You have to officially say you want to be nationalize as an American Citizen.

Funny how, once again, choice is only about killing a baby and not about things where there really is a choice.

What you stated makes sense which means it will be met with cries of outrage about the danger of illegal immigrants.

The inability of so many here to recognize the difference between someone like Canton and those who are truly undesirable and need immediate deportation is getting tiresome. He is the sort the U.S. should be encouraging to be citizens.
