Are you sure that a veteran’s naturalization application requires an honorable discharge?

Well it is proof the applicant is fit to be a citizen...
But just serving honorably will be accepted so the serviceman can be naturalized while he or she is still in the military..
and not committing crimes always helps..
to get a green card the immigrant had to have a clean record in the first place...
and that makes them eligible to join the military etc also...
My knee jerk reaction is to say, give ‘em a break! Their honorable service in our armed forces proves they deserve it. But remember, foreign mercenaries were the downfall of Rome.
“How did they join the military if they were illegal?
Fraud?? ID theft? Perjury? “
Yes, there are many in the military who are illegal using stolen ID.

Letting aliens in the military started under Bush. They came on temp visas, etc. Do you recall all the articles where gang bangers were just gang banging when they got in the army too?
It worked this way... let them join the military...keeps the numbers up in the service. The illegal aliens take the jobs that our young people would take if they could get them, but since aliens took them, they have no choice but go in the service.
Hey, someone has to fight the neocons/Obama wars.
2009 “Under a statute invoked in 2002 by the Bush administration, immigrants who serve in the military can apply to become citizens on the first day of active service, and they can take the oath in as little as six months.
.......Immigrants who are permanent residents, with documents commonly known as green cards, have long been eligible to enlist. But the new effort, for the first time since the Vietnam War, will open the armed forces to temporary immigrants if they have lived in the United States for a minimum of two years, according to military officials familiar with the plan. ....about 29,000 foreign-born people currently serving are not American citizens.” [snip] Last I saw, that was about 40,000.
