What do you think about illegal immigrants serving in the Military?

According the U.S. government, all male immigrants – legal and otherwise – are required by U.S. law to register for selective service.

According to the National Center for Immigration Law, one in ten U.S. soldiers who have DIED in Iraq have been immigrants. Five percent of those serving in our military are illegal immigrants.

The first soldier to die for the United States in the current war in Iraq was Marine Lance Cpl. Jose Gutierrez, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala.

He died for you.

Some (not all) of you are not in Iraq fighting for anyone. You are home, sending hatred to strangers on your computer!

Answer:
any one who is an illegal immigrant and dies in combat for the country should have their citizenship status changed post-mortem immediately, no political or beaurocratic BS. and their families should not have to put up with any retribution from the nay-sayers. semper fi. may he rest in peace
No es bueno
How can ILLEGALS be legally required to do anything????If you have to identify yourself as illegal the gov should deport you not recruit you!



Vin
I personally think it would be VERY screwed up! they need to go home!
I agree with you totally...

i believe that if you live in this country and an illegal immigrant wants to fight for america, then let them! the more help the better!!

there is really not much left for me to say, you covered it all perfectly...thanks for posting this! Star for you =)
They are "ALL HEROES"... "GOD BLESS THEM"
I think it's a good path towards citizenship.

According to the National Center for Immigration Law, one in ten U.S. soliders who have DIED in Iraq have been immigrants. Five percent of those serving in our military are illegal immigrants.
i think they shold be taken back to thier country and not be hear at all.
If they want to earn citizenship rights, fine with me.

I am a Vietnam-era veteran, and I identify with the plight of all people in the military.
I didn't ask them to join the military. I asked them to go back home. Doesn't change my view a bit.
I think joining the military is a great way for immigrants to get their citizenship. They are truly proving their worth in our country.
Good, get the other 95% over there!!
Who did the back ground Checks? I think that is amazing. Can you post a link that shows the stats on illegal immigrants in the military? I am very proud of our military. I could care less where someone is from if they are a citizen. I don't think that it's only about illegal immigration. I think there is a lot of animosity and resentment over some real estate also.
As a US born Korean Vet, I have no problem at all with this. Does this surprise you? They would have to endure predjudice, but probably less in the service, especially from their employer.

Unfortunately if you were a suspected gay virgin immigrant, you would be a triple target for the bullies in your barracks and whatever superiors that were biased.
