INS Tells Marine He's Not Good Enough For Citizenship.

Did anyone else hear the News Report on The Marine Sgt. on FOX news? He says INS deemed him to be of inadequate character to be a US citizen!

Marine was born in Vietnam and had some minor trouble when he was a young man, obviously the trouble was not serious enough to keep him out of the USMC but serious enough he can't be a citizen? Is there nothing we can do to help him?

[bluecollarman]

I waited for someone to post this but no one did. I never have posted before so keep that in mind before you flame.

Donna Rice [Hughes] has gone on and done something with her life. Gary Hart is still an idiot.

got a link?

[bluecollarman]

Can someone ping some Marines for me?

[netmilsmom]

I'm with you. Did you check with Fox News to see if they are doing anything?

[bluecollarman]

No it was one of those live interviews with the troops, came on about 45 minutes ago

I met her during the course of my internet crime work... an admirable lady :-)

Find out who the guy's congressman is - hopefully, it will be a Republican. If the Marines give this guy a pass - and they don't let much get passed them - then he ought to be okay for citizenship. This is just more of the INS garbage.

It was an interview with that Marine on FOX News Channel. I saw it myself. I don't think there is a link to that interview anywhere.

No flames from me. I'll ping a few Marines to see what they know about this, and what they'd suggest.

It was an interview done with the soldier on Fox News, but I can't remember who the interviewer was.

[bluecollarman]

Yes I emailed everyone I know... his Senator is from Maryland, Sarbanes (sic?)..

The reporter ask him how he felt about it and the Marine said mainly he is just "pissed off". He was hoping someone watching could help him.

Non-US citizens should not be members of the US armed forces -- period.

[bluecollarman]

Well at least I know I wasn't the only one to see it.
Thanks!

[David1]

inadequate character over something he did as a teenager. But I guess not inadequate enough to put on the Marine uniform and prevent him from fighting and dying for this country.

"I'll ping a few Marines to see "

THANKS MUCH!

Hmmm...let's see ... Whose judgment do I trust more, the United States Marine Corps or the INS. That's a tough one. Who has a better track record of selfless service, integrity, and success in mission accomplishment? Dunno, this is a close one...

[sit-rep]

This is all the information you have on this guy, and you want a force to get him citizenship... I don't think so!

Why don't we find out why he is not thought about in a high esteem first.

I know of other marines who have denounced their citizenship, are you sure he is not one of those??

"inadequate character over something he did as a teenager. But I guess not inadequate enough to put on the Marine uniform and prevent him from fighting and dying for this country."

Right, seems like Bush could do an "Executive Order" for this.

Hey, it's the only way Canadians get to fight!
