I have no sympathy for this individual. Although he came here as a child he has made no effort to recitfy his status. He needs to be deported. It really chaps my hide to see illegal aliens like this get a free ride while my parents both veterans are stuck in government beauracracy attempting to legally immigrate their adopted daughter.

Actually, he did. His parents brought him here illegally. As far as he knows, the US is his home. When he reached a legal age, he used some slight of hand to join the military- probably figuring that he could get his problem sorted out one way or the other while serving. That probably looked a lot more attractive to him than turning up at the Immigration office and telling them "I'm an illegal but I need a green card please". If he was afraid of getting deported I can certainly understand that and can understand why he chose this route. This was his attempt to rectify his status as far as I can tell. I am grateful for his service to his country- the USA.

What would you do in his situation? He chose an honorable way to become a citizen.

I agree. This guy already proved to be capable of fraud. He is a criminal. And this kind of pass given those with fake IDs poses a great security risk.
