Our Congress is trying to pass a bill that will "legalize" millions of illegal aliens. One of the conditions for "legalization" is that an illegal must have lived in the country for at least a year (prior to June 1, 2006) and not violated any Local, State or Federal laws.

Registering with the Selective Service System is a Federal Law that is directly tied to legal status and citizenship application. It is safe to say the majority of illegal alien males who resided in the country while in that age range, did not register and therefore will not qualify for the proposed "legalization process."

Congress must be reminded that failing to register with the Selective Service is a Felony ... disqualifies an illegal alien from this process, and a deportable offense.

Unless this Congress is prepared to completely gut and rewrite the purpose of the Selective Service System Agency, it is held by Federal law to deny legalization to any and all applicable illegal aliens who failed to register.


============

The Selective Service System requires all men, regardless of legal status, to register if they are between the ages of 18 and 25.

Failure to register is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 as a maximum.

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) makes registration with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship, if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday and was required to register.
