Poll question: Illegals in the US Army (fast track citizenship)? Corrected
Edited on Fri Aug-01-08 08:52 PM by Omaha Steve

A simple yes or no vote. Should illegal aliens continue to get a fast track citizenship for service in the US armed forces?

3. I believe that any being that travels billions of light years to fight in our armed forces...
...against terror deserves the chance to be a citizen of America!

Woo, hoo!

4. God forbid that folks who can vote should actually SHARE the burdens of national service.

After all, we're all "too good" for that, right?

then hell yes. Let them in.

6. Yes. They are willing to do more than the average freeper is willing
to do. If they are ready to serve this country at that level, then they deserve to be citizens of it.

It's one thing to love your country. But to love another country that much? You should be accepted by it.

7. Other
Please don't call them "illegals" - it's right wing framing designed to dehumanize them.

10. I stand corrected, illegals must register for the draft though

Note for Undocumented (Illegal) Aliens

If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It's the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to the Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94636, Palatine, IL 60094-4636.

Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it's too late!

Selective Service does not collect any information which would indicate whether or not you are undocumented. You want to protect yourself for future U.S. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service.

Are illegal alien males required to register?
Yes. All immigrant alien males, other than those admitted on nonimmigrant visas, must register, whether or not they have a green card.
(See also Who Must Register - Chart.)
