It is deplorable that the United States of America would deport non-citizen personnel that served in the military and defended our country. The United States openly enlists and recruits legal permanent residents to serve in the military, but does not grant them the same rights as citizens born here. If a citizen would right a bad check or smoke an illegal substance, they would be prosecuted by the law, serve their time, and go back to society. For non-citizen service members, they are being deported for the same crimes, often destroying families at the same time. Service members that took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, should be considered as nationals of the United States, and not be permitted to be deported.
