He did not decide to come here at three. His arrival is the only reason he can be deported.
If you or I do all the same things, we're at home not shipped away.
No, he can be deported because he never became a citizen.
If he had done that, he could not be deported. You can not deport a citizen.
Good to know that you don't Support the Troops!
I've dealt with a bunch of guys who have mental illness as a result of combat and so your attitude is pretty repugnant to me, so I don't care to debate it, just note it. We send people over to fight and die on our behalf and IMO that earns them something more than using them up then discarding them when it suits us.

Looks up and reads again.

Go away, such insane remarks mean nothing to me.
Yes. If he is born here and does all the same things, he doesn't get deported. All that matters is he arrived at three.
Nope, as I already said. That he is an immigrant means nothing. If he had become a citizen, he could not be deported.
The only way to deport an immigrant citizen is if it is proven that they used fraud in order to get their citizenship. Like the Nazi war criminals who had lied about their activities during WWII.
You are mistaken. It has been the policy of the US to accept foreign immigrants who have served honorably in the military. That doesn't mean we force citizenship upon them. They have to apply, and the criteria is as follows:
- Have served honorably in the military for at least 1 year and, if a veteran, must have received an honorable discharge
- Be a permanent resident when you apply
- Have a knowledge of U.S. history and government
- Be able to read, write and speak English
- Demonstrate good moral character for at least 5 years prior to applying
- Meet other certain residence and physical presence requirements

That is what I already said. They have to apply, but the process is streamlined for those in uniform.
But if they never bother to become citizens, that is all on them.
And in fact, that "served honorably in the military for at least 1 year" is not really accurate. The current requirement is 180 days. And before that there was no requirement. Until last year INS even had Naturalization centers at Fort Sill, Fort Benning, and Fort Jackson which specialized in helping recruits get their citizenship. But the change in DoD policy required 180 days, so those centers were closed.

But still, the point is that the individuals have to take the time and effort to become citizens. Unless they do so, they are just Resident Aliens, like any other in uniform or out. And must follow the same rules and suffer the same consequences if they violate those rules.
