U.S. Military veterans without U.S. Citizenship are being deported

in #life8 years ago

Do you think it is fair for people who risked their lives for America in the military to be deported after committing a crime? It is true that it is wrong to commit a felony but then if a person is willing to fight and even die for the US then why shouldn't they be a true US Citizen?

An argument can be made in either direction. What say you?

Sort:  

Who is deporting him? US Government? If so, what is US Government?


This video is soo touching....i think its wrong to deport them and deny them of veteran's rights & privileges... Hope they look into this injustice... Thanks for sharing this video...@dana-edwards

As a veteran I can empathize, but better questions come to mind:

Why are non-citizens allowed to serve in the military?

If our military is streched so thin that we're having to allow non-citizens to serve, why dont we reduce our military exposure to fit our mapower structure?

Military service does not give one special dispensation to violate the law.

And yet the Law will turn a blind eye so long as you can Kill or Be Killed in the name of the Dollar and Oil.

Funny how the Trumps and Bushs of the World Don't EVER Go SERVE THEIR FLOCKEN COUNTRY..... but they will surely send you, your kid and his illegal buddy to fight for THEIR country. And when they get back with missing limbs and Chemical caused illnesses from the shit they bomb with ..... they get LOW QUALITY health care or DEPORTED. Nice.... gotta love war if you own WAR STOCKs or OIL STOCKS.

It's a real headache. I think you're right. If you risk your life for a country, the least thing is to be a citizen.

No it's not fair , I have seen so many families being torn apart , so many hardworking Americans separated from their children and families . Now we get to a point where people who served our Country , risked their life , are being deported .. sad..

Whatever happen to everyone being equal , what happen to our rights on this land ? It just doesn't seem fair to live anymore . The government has and always will control our life

Just more proof that the state is parasitic by nature.

By the state you mean the Uber Rich and Wealthy, the Elite, the Rothchilds of the World, and all their cronies that it takes to keep the Veil of Deceit on the World. The Banks, the IMF, the Bush FAmily, the Windors, the hapsburg, and so on to this day STILL Rule the Western part of the World and still want more.

Frenemies = Friends to day, Dead friends tomorrow

By the state I mean government in general, period.

Español? Es bunghole! Habla, blah habla, habla habla, habla bunghole...

I think anyone who serves in the military and is honorably discharged should be granted citizenship, immediately. These people have already done more to earn it than most who are born here.

I think the word cabal better describes their activities more than corporation, or maybe criminal enterprise.

You find that odd? No citizenship, no stay. It's the law. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to join the U.S. military which makes no sense but in contrast serving in the U.S. armed forces does not constitute an avenue toward citizenship.
Serving in the U.S. armed forces is a "contractual" agreement. Nothing more, nothing else. If one wants citizenship then he needs to apply for it.

To join the military in the USofA, you must be a citizen, and or hold a green card. If you are/were in the military and committed a crime you may go to jail if you are a US citizen, military status has nothing to do with whether you go to jail or not. If you have been issued a green card, and you commit a crime, your military status has nothing to do with whether you are allowed to stay in the country or not, the promises you made to obtain that green card is what determines it.

You do not need to be a US Citizen to join the US Military. If you have a GREEN CARD you can join the military. Look up what a green card is. It is a path to citizenship. Military/police status has nothing to do with if you go to jail if you are convicted of a crime, unless the Judge is biased. If an ex military man, or an ex police officer, or just some joe blow down the street murder someone, and are convicted of the crime, then they are ALL going to jail, unless like I said above the Judge is biased.

How in the world did he even get in the military. Unreal.
