The amnesty act was NOT automatic - those seeking to avail themselves of its provisions had to file the paperwork, take the written citizenship test, attend a personal interview, and get sworn in by an appropriate official. (And of course, pay fees at several steps.) If these dudes never did the paperwork, they aren’t citizens, they are illegals. And they need to take their drunken brawls and domestic violence to the other side of the wall.
1 instance each, and misdemeanors at that. Domestic violence charges in many instances are totally unjustified.
Did you serve in the military? They did, and nothing ever came up that said they were not citizens. Only foreign born citizens, which had to come up during the enlistment process, with green cards are allowed to serve. If they had been required to produce green cards then they would have learned then of their true status, if indeed they were not citizens. Look, I am against all illegal immigrants being here, but these men have at least paid a price that deserves further consideration.
