@@SpaceRanger187 right? You have thousands of illegal immigrants drawing benefits when people like this man are left out in the cold and country less. I’m not against immigration in the slightest, our country regardless of what anyone says was built on and by immigrants. I’m just saying it should be done properly. Think of it this way. Would you let someone in your home without at least knowing a little about who they are? Share meals with someone and allow them free reign of your own home? You’re a liar or a complete fool if you say yes. Some of my best coworkers and friends have been newcomers. But there’s is absolutely nothing wrong with forcing immigrants to go through proper vetting processes. It only wrong to hate an entire people over fear.

There's nothing automatic about becoming a citizen, it is and should be an action required upon the hopeful citizen, same way you actually put some effort into becoming a Marine. It's funny to me, though, that he never bothered applying, but also wasn't bothered that he never stood in front of an official, was never quizzed on civics, swore an oath, or received a naturalization certificate. It's almost like he literally decided secret ninjas will do all that for him and never even let him know 🤦♂️ pretty sure he was a substandard Marine, then. What he shows as awards are automatic time in grade promotion and a 2 hour correspondence course. I have a total of 10 certificates of commendation, letters of appreciation, and certificates of appreciation, along with a Distinguished Service Medal, in 4 years, and got my citizenship during the same time, and was sworn in on the deck of an aircraft carrier by California lieutenant governor. It took some research, but blaming a recruiter for some false promises is bs. The guard for your building can let you in to work, tell you where offices are, what benefits the company has but 1: he's not CEO, 2: he doesn't get to make any promises unless they're in writing, and 3: whatever they tell you is to help you navigate once you're in, but what you want to do and how to do it is strictly your job
