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??

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.

It's worse than that. The IRS accommodates illegal aliens filing for 'Earned Income Credit' tax refunds for illegals that don't work or pay taxes. It's called 'Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs)'
