Since illegals want to become part of the United States, before they can they need to prove their loyalty to America. They must join the military and go fight in Iraq, and where ever they're needed. I'm talking about the women as well as the men. Americans go off to fight in Iraq, its about time these illegals prove themselves by joining the military and fight also instead of getting off scott free, while Americans go off fighting for our freedom and others freedom. Join the military illegals and will see if you prove your loyalty to America!

By your own logic, the vast majority of americans are not loyal to their country, since they haven't volunteered to go to Iraq. Including yourself, apparently.

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

I don’t think it should be used as a test of loyalty but it might otherwise prove a viable suggestion in some respects.
Although some undocumented workers are currently serving in the military, more would volunteer if the law were changed to allow them to serve. There are currently 25,000 non-citizens serving in the US military. Some people who are here illegally might welcome the chance to serve if they didn’t have to possibly expose themselves to deportation by applying.

I think you are right, but first they need to pay their back-taxes for the amount of time they lived in the US illegally, and then they have to get car insurance and pay for all the damages they have done to citizens cars and property while they were driving. Once they do that and learn English and then take all the same tests as other immigrants, then they should be allowed to call themselves US citizens.

I believe that there are many US citiezens that are NOT willing to join the military. So does that make the US citizens non american for not joining thier military and fighting for the US?

Forcing someone to join the military strikes me as a bad idea. But, a path to citizenship for those who want to serve strikes me as a reasonable idea. If you're willing to put your life on the line for your adopted country, the country should be willing to accept you.

This has happened for many. Haven't you heard of the ones who died in Iraq being given post mortem citizenship? Don't worry, the government has thought of this a long time ago.

We need to treat them the same way the Mexican government treats illegal aliens: Cannot own land, cannot vote, & as soon as they are caught, immediately deported w/o any chance @ amnesty.

They need to just go back home, and come in the right way. They would do so if they were loyal to the US.
