How can they be legal if the card expires? Is the INS too backed up to reliably process applications for renewal of green cards?
Illegal aliens cannot serve. But under Clinton one of the Army biggies (who happened to be Hispanic American) floated a trial balloon in 1999. His idea was serve in the Army and you can become a US citizen...
Think of it this way, when your credit card expires, does your account close? No. When the alien's resident card expires, he is still a resident, but he can no longer travel outside the US and if he is found by the INS, he will be fined.

No, usually the alien just forgets he needs to renew it.

Yes he did, but luckily it did not pass.
