Should undocumented veterans be given citizenship?

Volunteering for the army has traditionally been a fast-track to citizenship for green card holders. But in recent years, a growing number of undocumented immigrants have joined the armed forces -- only to be deported later. Some people think these veterans should be given citizenship for their sacrifice to their country. Others say the rules are the rules, and people must follow the proper procedures to become a citizen. What do you think?

Here's an idea: Don't let non-citizens into the military.

I know a guy who fought in the German Army in WW2 and the US Army during Korea. Some of the artillery communication was done in German during that war.

Those who have served, yes.

Prevent illegals from serving in the future.

Give immigration priority to citizens serving alongside America in allied foreign armies.
