800,000 dreamers >>> good, educated and accomplished.
That’s a relief that the screening in Homeland Security is cranking.
Soooo... how does an illegal alien even get into the military?
Before you visit your local recruiter, be sure you meet the minimum qualifications for serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. ... You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien. You must be at least 17 years old (17-year old applicants require parental consent). You must (with very few exceptions) have a high school diploma.
Did DACA make them "resident aliens"?
Apparently, there are several hundred DACA illegals in the US military.

“WASHINGTON — About 900 undocumented immigrants known as “DREAMers” are currently serving in the United States military, the Pentagon says — which could prove a major challenge for the Trump administration as it tries to wind down the Obama-era program that protected those immigrants from deportation.”

“MAVNI Open to DACA Recipients
Individuals who have been granted deferred action by the Department of Homeland Security pursuant to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process are eligible for consideration. Generally the MAVNI requirements stipulate a legal immigration status. However, the military service may on a case by case basis waive the requirement that the foreign national be in a status described above.”

“Unfortunately, undocumented aliens (even with DACA) are not currently eligible to enlist in the U.S. armed forces.”
Yes, I want them thrown out.
Yeah, pretty much...get 'em out. They should be very sought-after down there, as they Make Mexico Great Again.
(Case-by-case exceptions for the active-duty and veterans, special consideration for the combat vets.)
Mr. President... illegal is ILLEGAL!...they must return home, apply for citizenship and they are more than welcome back... but NOT without being legal!!!! Remember your campaign promise?????
