Any person who served X number of years (or was injured/disabled in action conflict, etc.), and is/was not a citizen, should automatically become a citizen upon an honorable discharge.
A travesty.

I do like the idea of veterans get two votes!

I did over 30 years in the Army and helped a few non-citizen military members go through the naturalization process. A lot of people don't realize that there are something like 40,000 non-citizens serving in the active duty military at any given time. There are also many more foreign spouses of US service members trying to become citizens.

In my experience, serving in the military is a big help in fast tracking citizenship. Most that didn't successfully get their citizenship didn't follow through with the 'paperwork' requirements. They seem to get a second chance more often than not. Many that have been in the news, including this case, committed a crime. The veteran in this case voted in a federal election as a non-citizen (more than once). This act whether or not you agree with it, is grounds for deportation under immigration law. When you are attempting to naturalize, you are essentially in a 'parole' status. Should you break any laws, even 'smaller' ones, you are likely to be deported.

This is not an endorsement of the immigration system. There is much room for improvement.

I served with several non-citizens in the USCG.

I worked with a guy from Russia who became a Naturalized citizen while I was working with him. I also worked with a guy from Poland who thought he had it better when the Soviet Union had control of Poland. I also worked with a guy from India who eventually was Naturalized (lots of Indians at DTNA).

Lots of Indians at every major US corporation these days. I thought working for a company in the heart of the Midwest might be different -- nope...
