Is'nt that nice of Bush to give such wonderful people a chance to become Americans?
Technically, military code does not allow illegal aliens to serve in the military. It does allow green card holders, who are legal residents but not citizens to serve in the military with the reward of expedited citizenship processing for their service.

So, any illegals in the military are not in the military lawfully but by fraud by the illegal or oversight (or mistakes) by recruiters and processors.
