I mean, if a Mexican, a Canadian, a Phillippino, whatever, comes here, joins a service, goes to war, and offers up their life for the United States, why would we not acknowledge their offer and loyalty, and give them citizenship if they want it? Really I think they've proven their love for our country by doing that, and it is negative, hateful, and ungrateful for anyone to tell them "Sure, you offered your life for our country, now go home, you can't stay here anymore."

And, to Ms. L.A. Are you French? I'm not French, and did not mention other countries. I was speaking of the USA.. And I'd rather think like GW than like you anyday of the week, even though his words get confused.
Who ever said Iraqui insurgents who turn to our side are fighting???? They are sitting in cushy offices giving away secrets. NO we don't give someone who did not voluntarily join our military and do what all others who are TRUE Americans (other than people like you) are doing, through the correct courses, then why not give something back to them?
You've totally missed the point.

It is the law of the United States to give citzenship to all who serve in the Armed forces after five years of honorable service.

If that was the case then why didn't the French Foreign Legion offer citizenship to all of it's members? And what about the double agent Iraqui insurgents, should we offer them citizenship, too? It seems that you and George W. think alike.

On this issue, if that person served honorably in the military, then I am ok with them being given citizenship. That is one exception to what I am otherwise against.

I think anyone who gives service to America deserves citizenship. Excellent question and topic!

I think they should be made citizens BEFORE they go to bootcamp.
But I don't think the Illegals who are here, demanding to be equal to us deserve a damn thing, except transportation to the place from whence they came!

No. I wouldn't allow foreigners to serve in the US military in the first place.
