Reply to comment by doughnutholio in ‘We are not forgotten’: Formerly deported veterans become U.S. citizens in special San Diego ceremony by ProgressiveSnark2

That's why these deportations were so effed up. Non-citizens serving in the US armed forces have long been told it's a path to citizenship. Heck, I was told this in JROTC over two decades ago.

so you're a non-US citizen and you do JROTC, then ROTC, then you're an officer and suddenly you're out of status and then boom... you go back to the country of origin on paper???

wtf is that
