Illegal immigrants cannot serve in the military
It was with great interest that I recently listened to Congressman Jim Clyburn (6th U.S. District for S.C.) tell Fox News Sunday that “illegal immigrants served in our military in Iraq and Afghanistan.” He apparently made the statement in an attempt to chastise Arizona’s new anti–illegal immigration law and to gain sympathy and support for illegal immigrants.
As a U.S. congressman, he should have known better. The truth is that illegal immigrants cannot serve in our nation’s military forces. A quick search on the internet provides multiple sources stating the obvious—one must be a legal resident or legal immigrant to enter the U.S. military. Congressman Clyburn’s statement was either an oversight on his part or an effort to gain support for illegal immigrants. In any event, his statement is incorrect.

Dream Act is a disaster to invite terrorist into our military.:
The rhetoric coming from the left leads you to think that because illegal aliens have served in our military so all illegal aliens should be on a path to citizenship. But the truth is illegals do not serve in our military?? "Hispanics" have served in the military and that do not give all Hispanics the right to citizenship.
