Enlisting has been a path to citizenship since we’ve been a country. It’s a legal, honorable method for people to serve the country that welcomes them. These people have the same standards as all recruits. The fact that people are vetted and discharged if there are problems means the system works.
In case you aren’t aware, most legal immigrants have a better understanding of our nation’s history and the opportunities than the vast majority of college “graduates.” America is the land of opportunity and we should always welcome those who embrace our values.
