Perez was born in Mexico, but grew up in Chicago, and was a legal permanent resident when he joined the Army in 2001. He said he mistakenly thought he became a legal U.S. citizen when he enlisted.
Perez is one of thousands of green card-holding veterans who face deportation, according to the Ashley’s Memory Project, which was started by a local church and the immigrant mother of a deceased veteran. There are also numerous veterans who have been deported and are fighting to return to the U.S.
Why can a non-citizen enlist?

Ok Fox did some actual reporting so there's less speculation. Man CNN is such garbage.

Very interesting.
Now how the hell is this going on?
Totally incompetent people running the government.
I will say however that legal residence here is typically contingent upon now breaking our laws.
So this is a tough one but veterans should not be deported.
Also I would like to point out, who or how exactly do you get a kilo of coc aine?

Why are legal permanent residents being deported in the first place?

He wasn't Illegal. He was a green card holder since the age of 11.

Who had his green card revoked for selling a key of blow to a cop.

Holy crap. Why in the hell don't we just immediately grant citizenship for recruits after a certain period of time? I just assumed that was a thing. I couldn't imagine signing up to risk my life for some nation and not be considered one of them afterward. Total bs.
