As someone who has served in the military, this is a point that I’m a little “over the barrel” on. If a person is willing to serve, and they serve honorably, I think they should be given front of the line consideration for citizenship.

I’m sure my son with years of Special Forces duty would agree, but I will ask him. During Gulf War I his Guatemalan friend who was also one of his groomsmen took up the task of forwarding supplies and food to his post in Saudi Arabia.

Agreed...
Military service for citizenship is a tradition almost as old as civilization itself.

there have been, as long as I remember, a great lot of Filipinos in the military.

I know many who have retired and have continued to contribute to this country and their community.

When do we get a break from people, politicians, expecting us to dream that any immigrant is the same as any other, illegal or not.

Just a break

As someone who has also served, I consider it an insult that illegal aliens should be allowed to serve in the military. We have plenty of Americans and legal immigrants who can serve in those positions, especially as the military is being reduced.

There is already a program to allow green card holders to serve and receive expedited citizenship. We don't have a mercenary military that needs to recruit foreign national lawbreakers to serve, an honor and privilege for those that do.

The Left and Rep pro-amnesty creeps like to use these emotional ploys to gain acceptance of lawbreakers. We either have the Rule of Law or we don't. Just because the CIC violates the law regularly does not mean that we must accept it from others.

"I think they should be given front of the line consideration for citizenship."

We are reducing personal in all branches. Probably will continue to do so. That combined with the new normal of very little employment opportunity for OUR youth, I'd argue that "front of the line consideration" for enlistment -and it's many opportunities- should go to US citizen youth.
