There is the issue of fraudulent enlistment. But even that can be overlooked by honorable service. I had a Gunnery Sergeant who fraudulently enlisted to go to Vietnam (underage--16). They didn't catch it until he was almost ready to retire. The JAG decided to not file charges, as he'd done much in his 20 years--not just combat, but risking his life on search and rescue missions, and he did a fine job of training Marines during two DI tours at Parris Island.

If anything amnesty should be earned ---- we gave amnesty to plenty who have never done a single thing for the USA ---- this case is a little different. There should be a reform of the immigration laws anyhow --- let a worthy type stay and instead block some of those coming for the SSI and other handouts.
