BS. It is a privilege and honor to serve in our armed forces. It is also a duty of citizenship. Are you suggesting that we should make a worldwide call and say that anyone willing to serve should be admitted into the US and given citizenship? What kind of country have we become when we allow people who broke our laws to enter this country to serve in our military.
This country is going to Hell. This is supposed to be a conservative website, but I guess the Ruke of Law no longer obtains. The inmates are in charge of the asylum.
Agree.
"It is also a duty of citizenship."
Since the promulgation of the "All volunteer military", that is no longer true. I personally prefer Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" approach, but that isn't (nor likely to be) the way things are.

No. But if some choose to volunteer to do so, I'm fine with it. Obviously, background checks of some sort would be needed.

Note that the topic is about young people who were brought into our country involuntarily. "They" are not the ones who broke our laws....their parents are. If they choose NOT to volunteer and serve, then permanent residency is the maximum they should get, but some degree of compassion is needed for their plight. I "would" send their lawbreaker parents back to the "old home country", though. If the kiddies choose to stay or go along with the folks, I'm fine with either choice.
