Whose side did the Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, or German Americans fight on?
The biggest problem with any kind of immigration is that people want to come to the USA because it is a better place to live, but then they think trying to make it more like the place they came from will improve it.
Savage has it right on this: borders, language, culture.
Unfortunately, this will have to be a motto for whatever nation rises from the ash heap of this once great nation.
Aren’t foreigners allowed to serve ? I though that was how Arnold gained citizenship, by joining the US Army, in Europe.
I know some Fillipinos who say they got their citizenship by serving in the US Navy.
I understand the problem with falsification, clearly a separate issue.
Thanks, to all.
My point is that the man served while millions have not. He put his life on the line for a country and a cause that really was not his. To me, that is bravery and honor. This Marine displayed ideals and virtues that I, for one, applaud.
One other point.....and this is, of course, subject to the scenario woven to fit a particular situation, if a Marine is ordered to fire on American citizens, what Marine worthy of the title would do so? We are NOT talking about Americans who have given over to the Dark Side, as in joining ISIS or any other anti-American group or entity or Americans justifiably rebelling against a tyrannical government domestically.
The background check done when joining is not as thorough as a background check done for a security clearance. You only get a secret or top secret clearance if needed for your particular MOS or AFSC. Has this individual needed a secret clearance, that background check would have uncovered his fraud. I only had one post 9/11 secret clearance update and I answered a lot more questions on that one. No way he had a secret clearance.
Welcome home brother. I am an alumnus of 1/77 Armor and 1/61 Mech. Inf. 69-71 to include Lam Son 719.
Regardless, this guy should not have been in the USMC and once the fraud was detected, he should not have been given an HD. Also, he would have had to submit an SSN in addition to a birth certificate. Here are the crimes he was progably guilty of:
False Personation of a U.S. Citizen (18 U.S.C. § 911). Illegal aliens often present themselves as U.S. citizens, an act punishable by up to five years in jail, a felony. This law is often cited in immigration prosecutions and may involve, for example, an alien claiming U.S. citizenship to his employer.
Fraud and False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001). It is common for illegal aliens to make false statements to the government or on official documents. An illegal alien violates this law when claiming to be a U.S. citizen on an I-9 Employment Eligibility form and faces a fine and up to five years imprisonment.
Social Security Fraud (42 U.S.C. § 408). This statute has been invoked where an illegal alien provided a false Social Security number for the purpose of acquiring a job, where an illegal alien used a fraudulent Social Security number for the purpose of acquiring a driver's license, and when an illegal alien used a Social Security card belonging to a citizen in order to obtain Section 8 housing, for example. Violation of this statute can result in a fine and/or imprisonment up to five years. The court can also require violators to provide restitution to the victims.
There were units in Iraq that were almost entirely Mexican.
They were support units, but they could not speak English AT ALL.
I oppose primitive 3rd worlders buying entry into my country by any means.
