Don’t know if they were or if some could be classified as illegals. I don’t care for illigal immigration at all but if a kid who grew up here who had wetback parents wants to enlist and serve then I see that as a positive thing.

Are you suggesting that these members of the armed forces are illegal immigrants receiving some sort of amnesty or have anything, whatsoever, in common with them? They have nothing to do with illegal immigrants. They respect the country and its laws. The illegals, by there very presence here, do not.

“I look at it is if a kid who grew up here illegally but still wanted to serve should be able to earn a spot.”

Then he could serve and earn citizenship. He would be taking an appropriate step. It would be the same as leaving the country and then applying for citizenship or a visa to be here legally! Welcome! I’m not anti-imigrant. I’m anti-illegal imigrant!

For some military service wouldn’t be enough.
