See post #905 re: recent news for aliens/illegals in the Military. 15,000 get July 4th gift.

Very interesting...

My guess is 95% of these 15,000 were legal green card holders who were in the military. The others had green cards (or visas) when they joined but green card is no longer valid (for whatever reason).

Someone from Mexico is not just going to wade cross the river and get into our Army and become a citizen.

HOWEVER someone could come on a tourist visa/ student visa/work visa/ etc. and join the Army and become a citizen. I think this could be done...
