Illegals are NOT in the armed forces. You must have a green card first to even be considered entering the military. Anybody who tells you that illegals are in the military is wrong. You must go through a background check, SSN check and other checks before even entering the army.

I think the US needs to stop ALL immigration until they straighten this mess out. 80% plus of Americans do NOT want any illegals in our country, we want our borders secured FIRST before considering any type of immigration reform.

Illegals want reform? We'll give it to them. Get back to your country first. Fill out the paperwork first. Wait in line like everyone else. Do not get out of line and expect to get back in later on. Get to the end of the line like everyone else.

No more Visas, no more student Visas. NO MORE ENTRY WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Get Sheriff Joe Arpaio to run Homeland Security.

Only 17% of Americans want immigration increased ,that says it all. the house and senate are not listening to the 83% that want it reduced or kept the same .and I believe that the ones that want it to remain the same are like I was when I took the survey .I had no idea how many immigrants we are letting in legally . I do now ,and now I want it reduced.

I live in a highly military populated area, and this is very unwelcome to those I've spoken with. How do illegals get in our military at all? This seems insane, particularly with the "war on terrorism". Our country is being bargained away by politicians, and now they are trying to use a pro-military stance to do it. How very sad and how very, very harmful to our country and to our safety and to our culture.

When I was in the military I married a foreigner. She entered this country legally, as my wife, and once here followed all of the laws required to remain here. In those days resident aliens were required to register at the post office once a year in order to remain in the U.S. and she did so as long as this was required and never complained about it. As a veteran I think people in the military should obey the law just like everyone else. And my wife agrees and she strongly opposes any form of amnesty. She feels that anyone who wants to come here should do so legally just like she did.

No 6020 is pro-mercenary, and the last thing we need is a giant loophole for another back-door amnesty.
An illegal alien from Nigeria, who for some reason was in the US navy , murdered a Japanese citizen while on tour last year.
No illegal alien should be allowed in the military.
I have no sympathy for those in service who bring back foreign spouses. They always have the option to live in the country of their foreign spouse.
Personally, I would like to see all immigration shut down for ten years and for the State Department to be taken out of the business of immigration altogether.
as to the bill for foreign nurses. It is an outrage that the United States has more universities and colleges then any other country, so many that our enemies come here to be schooled, yet we cannot find enough teachers to train nurses?
I suspect it is because those in power at the college are extremely in favor of more foreign workers.
This was confirmed by an Employee at Ron Wyden's office.
So they conveniently do not fund teachers so they can import foreign nurses.
The wide spread corruption and self-interest ,from Congress on down is so rampant that we need to be very cynical when anyone sides with pro-immigration stances.
Just yesterday I found an English H1-b visa worker stating on a pro-enforcement site, that the nursing bill should be passed and misinforming others by stating that the five hundred thousand was not for new workers , but for good ,patient, employees who were already in the US.,

H.R. 6020 is pro military. This bill should be voted on and approved. Many American soldiers are married to foreigners that have either came here legally or illegally. Pass H.R. 6020 so these solderis and airmen can have peace of mind their family is taken care of.
