"I am skeptical. But if true I am jumping up and down for joy. Illegal alien is illegal alien !"

Well, the article doesn't exactly say that these were illegals, and in fact implies that they were legals working on contracts. Of course, any chicken heart that leaves, legal or not, is no loss.

I'd go further--any illegal alien who shows up at a recruiting office and signs up for military service automatically has his status legalized, and given citizenship at the end of his term of service. Anyone who will do that DESERVES to become a citizen.

I'll respectfully disagree. A loophole is a loophole. It's our war on the homefront; it's a war to regain our national boundaries and identity. Let the Mexicans go home, let their country establish a decent army (that would be refreshing...for them to do something besides telling their citizens to "migrate" north and send home money), and let Mexican troops be commited to Afghanastan. Then the Mexicans can go home and be proud citizens of....MEXICO.

I really don't want people who broke our laws serving the US in any way. They should be kicked out, no exceptions.

and probably 500,000 more have entered our country since the attacks. Have you looked at the UN population figures? Expect tens of millions of more refugees flooding the First World.

Illiegal alien is colonista.

350,000 is less than 5% of the solution.
