This week’s question: “Should immigrants who honorably serve in one of our U.S. military branches, and their family members, be put on a fast-track to getting U.S. citizenship?”
- Yes. They have shown how much they love this country.
- No. There should be zero tolerance with immigration laws
- I’m just not sure.

“They should have the right to apply for citizenship. They’ve done it since the Civil War and prior to that, so they should be able to.”

“Well, if they’re fast-tracked, they still have to go through a little bit of education, and they’ll get the education there in the service.
“I would rather see that than an illegal just sitting around in our country. Fast-track just means that instead of starting at the bottom, they’ll go up to the top. If they’re gonna serve that long in our country, then fast-track should be OK. There are people who have waited years legally and still don’t have citizenship.”

“It should be done before they get out of the military. If they are willing to go in the military and serve and fight, they should just do it then, why wait? I’m all about that. But these guys down there are just coming across our border.”

Peachtree

“They should be fast-tracked. If they’re in the military you know they’re not here illegally. They’ve shown by doing service, as a veteran and by providing their abilities into our military, they’re serving this country. So I think while they’re active duty, they should be given the fast-track to become a citizen.”

“Yes, they should be fast-tracked. They fought for the country and their families had to endure hard times while their dad or mom was gone. They’ve shown they love America.”
