illegal immigrants in the US army?

It is possible for immigrants to gain admission to the US aremed forces. I have served with quite a few. However, not an illegal immigrant. There aren't FBI clearance checks for entry, but there is a very rigorous background check. Including an AFIS and NCIC checks, DMV check and the one most any illegal will fail, is the most simple. The records from the high school they graduated from. No diploma, no entry. Yes there are exceptions, called a GED window, but your high school transcripts must be included with the GED certification. There is a minimalist background investigation, but it is there nontheless. But no. There are not illegal immigrants in the US armed forces, and anyone who says so is simply misinformed. I spent 12 years of my life in an intel unit, providing preliminary background checks to the FBI for securuity clearance investigations. The process for entry alone prohibits their entry. There are just too many different things they would have to fake, and it would be the little things that would get them caught. And the penalties for trying to enlist as an illegal are very severe. VERY severe. Crimes against the State, Federal Penitentiary, Leavenworth Ks., severe. That's why I can say there are NO illegal immigrants in the service. If they are there illegally, they have a new title. They are promoted instantly from illegal alien status to spy. \nDon't believe everything you hear. YES there is a legal way to enlist, if you are from a foreign nation. And it's NOT that hard to do. If you're serious about enlisting, I would strongly suggest you contact the area MEPS (Military Enlistment Processing Station) and ask to speak to the NCOIC about advice as to what you would require. It sounds to me like the recruiter you spoke with simply doesn't want to have to deal with the added paperwork. Here on a student visa? Explore joining the ROTC program at your school, also.\nI wish you the best of luck.

racist want white supremacy, the people you and I encounter with want illegals out because they think they are avoiding the law, which might be true, but still they don't know of any hardships these people go through when risking their lives to cross the border. I am not making excuses for them but realistically how are they going to point out all illegals? Hard workers who are illegals come here to do what their little prissy hands won't, and they say illegals are taking their jobs. i highly doubt they and their ancesstors sprung from US soil, literally.

Site you facts Mister.  If you were in the military you know darn well that any american citizen, applying for or holding a job (especially in the government) who is officially listed as AWOL, will be apprehended and held over for an administrative determination under the UCMJ (do you know what that stands for).  \n\nIf pres. Clinton pardoned them, they are no longer AWOL.

Sorry.......no.  If you're refering to illegals that take low paying jobs or bid low on jobs...then they have done it to themselves.  I knew that would be the next line of doo-do.  They came here illegally and willingly took whatever job they wanted.  No one forced them.  They volunteered their services.  If there's "segragation" it's on their part for not wanting to assimilate in this country.  They seperate themselves with their language and all the talk about "their" people.  So that trip won't fly either.

No! No human being is illegal. They came to the USA to find better lives, just like the pilgrims. In my opinion, they should be granted amnesty.

I dont think illegal immigrants can. In college they ask for social security numbers.

They are not illegal aliens they are undocumented workers.\nIf I robe a bank for five yrs can I be called a undocumented Thief instead of a bank robber. I think that would be fair.\nThe Government can not tell us there are over 30 million this would really tell the people they are not doing anything to protect the citizens of the US not that 11 million makes us feel they are doing te job either

Would you actually be able to trust these illegal immigrants? Placing them in the army would be like handing them free weapons. Think of the consequences...you may never know what will happen then.

If your question must be answered in the context of accepting your "facts"  then the answer must be equally erroneous. \nThe simple answer is that illegal immigrants in the USA are not a military force and so yes, there is a difference, and the comparison is nonsensical.\nBut, more to your point, and to correct your "facts"...\nThe freely elected representative government of the citizens of Iraq DO want coalition forces in their country until such time as they can effectively defend and police their lands. The non-Iraqi terrorist insurgents, in collaboration with a minor faction of disgruntled unelected Iraqis of the former totalitarian regime, however loud they yell, are not representative of the citizens.

They didn't know?????, I'm sup rise all these people who call you ignorant in the other questions you post don't have their facts straight, that is how racism begins, people whit little information trying to debate an issue they are not prepared. \nYES!!!, USA has immigrants in their armed forces fighting dangers to keep you secure. Believe it or not you can join the army with no papers at all. But they make them legal the moment they are enrolling. This is the same for workers, being in the Army its just another job Americans don't want to do and immigrants are doing it.

You do NOT have to be an American citizen to join our armed forces. In fact, it is one way to get citizenship.\n\nRead this: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL31884.pdf#search='citizenship%20and%20military%20service'\n\nIt seems to be very difficult to find out if there are any non-US citizens on the Wall, except for American Indians.

I feel we should let them come over. However, they should have (if immigrated legally) a mandatory 2 years served in our military. If caught immigrating illegally, they should have a 10 year mandatory serve and sent back. If they are caught in the act of crossing a border (mainly hispanics, obviously) they should serve 15 years and sent back. My $0.02. American.
