It seems to me the Marine assumed a lot, but did very little follow up. Willful ignorance is not a valid excuse. Yep. I'll add thank you for your service, but not much beyond that.

All he has to do is walk into court and say he wants to do his part to remove Trump from office.

What should really stand out about this whole thing is, HOW DID HE GET REGISTERED TO VOTE! It looks like anyone can sign up and vote without being a citizen of the United States. I wonder how many thousands or millions have voted in our elections without having citizenship.

I don't know anything about this case, but it does seem to make sense that serving in the military should be one path to citizenship.

"...but he was actually ineligible to be a Marine."
As a Marine who served with at least two officers that were not US citizens, one British, the other Polish, I question that statement. Also, at one time I worked with a Canadian citizen that was drafted into the US Army. Yes, I checked, that was legal.

As a Marine who served with at least two officers that were not US citizens, one British, the other Polish, I question that statement. Also, at one time I worked with a Canadian citizen that was drafted into the US Army. Yes, I checked, that was legal. That was my first thought also. However, from the article: He was never eligible to be a Marine to begin with. The Marines, as do all our branches, require permanent residency, the green card, or citizenship. He was neither.

I served with a number of Panamanians in the Army whose sole purpose for enlisting was to become a US citizen
There might’ve been a stipulation with US territories that allowed that

Same with the Philippines.
Keep looking forward. That’s why windshields are larger than rear view mirrors.

I served with a guy from Mexico that was sworn in as a US citizen while we were in Korea. The ceremony was at the US base in Seoul and I believe at the time it was the first time anyone was sworn in as a citizen outside of the US. It was pretty cool to be there.

There might’ve been a stipulation with US territories that allowed that we had several Panamanians in the air force as well.

I think the sentiment in here today is really negative. If you went to New Zealand and wanted to become a citizen..........you wouldn't have a clue. Marine Recuiter tells you some BS to get you to enlist and boom your there.

I can't believe the recruiter lied.
