Foreign Nationals can and do serve in the US Military...Phillipinos have done so for decades.

But illegal aliens?? I cannot imagine how you would ever get past the recruiting station if you did not have valid citizenship, and who would be stupid enough to try??

Straw man...

They use identity theft and fraud docs. Recruiters are often complicit. If illegal aliens can get by the Border Patrol and Immigration Inspectors at the Ports of Entry then they wouldn't have any problem getting past military recruiters. They don't even have problems getting Top Secret military clearances or joining law enforcement as was the case with Oscar Ortiz.

So you think our military is guarding against illegals serving alongside US citizens? Think again. Are we even sure they are not infiltrators?

Over three thousand undocumented military veterans battling deportation orders.

With that many who are already veterans how many are not serving and how many veterans who are not fighting deportation?
