AFAIK, it is a faster means to obtain naturalized citizenship and always has been. You have to have a green card when you join and you get fasttracked after a year of honorable service.
I may be wrong, but that is what some people I know said that was their plan and I know my former boss got his citizenship after playing in the cat box for a few years like 15 years ago.
I believe that. I mean the military hasn’t always been the most honest in holding up their end of the deal, like ever. Add to that the current admin of the last 12 years and it comes as no surprise that they would fuck around with immigrants serving in the military naturalizing.
I’m not a big fan of blind patriotism. Service members sign up to serve our country, and not all of our country’s military endeavors are very honorable….
I don’t think a service man or woman deserves any more respect than a janitor, or a tomato picker. We need to respect all workers, especially if they are law abiding and just trying to help their families.
Without comprehensive immigration reform, we are shooting ourselves in the foot to spite our ability to walk by randomly deporting these crucial members of our society.
Serving in the military and getting a Purple Heart means this person went above and beyond.
Regardless, why are we letting foreign nationals serve in the military with no path to citizenship… it’s pretty dumb. The federal government needs to uphold its end of the deal.
Deporting service members is stupid, even if they are dishonorably discharged.
What the actual fuck?
This particular situation is even more fucked up and ironic than it seems,
He was injured in the Noriega War in which the CIA put a cocaine drug trafficking dictator into power and then later decided to fight against him.
This poor soldier got injured in a war and then later got PTSD, and became addicted to the same drugs the CIA was importing into the country. I’ll say it again, what the actual fuck?
A honorable discharge DD-214 should come with naturalized citizenship papers automatically.
It used to…

Yeah, but i read something about the government not honoring the terms of the agreement recently.

Ok, so it wasn’t so recently…

I came here to say this. Like wtf he’s done more for this country than half of the citizens born here
