I can have empathy for illegal immigrants while also believing they shouldn't be here. At least those that came here illegally.
However the military offers naturalization through service. But for some reason, they can make the "Brave decision" to free themselves from their poverty and crime stricken countries to come here, but can't make the same decision brave decision to join the military in order to become a natural citizen.
I believe the military only takes immigrants who are here legally.
I am for enforcing our immigration laws too. In fact, I think they should be modified to process bogus asylum claims more quickly.
However, I also think it should be noted that illegal immigrants are a benefit to the economy. Many small businesses would lose significant chunks of their workforce if they were deported en masse. Small businesses are one of the GOP's favored constituencies. This is why I don't think there will be any sort of large deportation program even if the GOP does very well this fall. We already deport a significant number of illegal immigrants. There will be some tweaks. But the large numbers (10 million or so) that currently live and work here will mostly be unaffected. Cuz we need them. Especially the small businesses that employ them in large numbers and pay them under the table.
