If they’re willing to sacrifice more than the vast majority of Americans do for their new country, then I have no problem with making them citizens.

Today's immigrants aren't coming here to be Americans. They stubbornly insist on maintaining their old national identity and culture. Their loyalty lies where they came from and makes them a security risk.

Someone who came by means of volunteering for the Army in wartime are likely to be far more loyal and Americanized than the average immigrant.

As well, if I was writing the law, I would require that they renounce their former citizenship upon enlistment.

Yeah, but don’t you think military service might help clear that concern up a little?

BS. This song and dance gets done every generation. Italians, Irish and Germans were all accused of "not assimilating". American culture is like a (good) virus, give folks a generation and then everybody's an American.

Exactly. I saw the demonstrations by immigrants/illegal aliens where they waved the flags of their countries. Many refuse to learn English and expect us to provide - at no expense to them - translators. Also, they demand special perks and file lawsuits if they don't get their way.

Presently many immigrants form criminal gangs. The extension of MS13 is just one example. Mexico, for example, believes it has the right to dump it deviants and surplus population on us and pull raids across the border. Immigrants/illegal aliens have been establishing enemy cells. We are fighting a new kind of warfare, with the invasion taking place across the border.

Incredible the many perverts and terrorists that have been allowed to enter this country. Our biggest threat does not come from Iraq but from the immigrants from enemy nations and illegal aliens. The planes on 9/11 took off from American soil.
