MICHAEL SAYS: 3. They do not register for selective service and do not
serve in the military - forcing legal Americans to defend them.ALISA SAYS: Sigh. According the U.S. government, all male immigrants –
legal and otherwise – are required by U.S. law to register for selective
service.
According to the National Center for Immigration Law, one in ten U.S.
soliders who have DIED in Iraq have been immigrants. Five percent of those serving in our military are illegal immigrants.
The first soldier to die for the United States in the current war in Iraq
was Marine Lance Cpl. Jose Gutierrez, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala.
He died for you.
You are not in Iraq fighting for anyone. You are home, sending lie-riddled missives to strangers at 3 a.m. on your computer.
Enough said.

This isn't perfectly correct.
1) He was one on the first who died in Iraq, but not the first.
The Department of Defense announced today the identities of two U.S. Marines killed in action on March 21 in Southern Iraq. Killed were:
2nd Lt. Therrel S. Childers, 30, Harrison County, Miss.
Lance Cpl. Jose Gutierrez, 22, Los Angeles, Calif.

2) Gutierrez held permanent U.S. resident status, which he obtained in 1999. He was not illegal when he died

3) The illegal immigrant cannot join the U.S. military
Mea Culpa. I should have looked into it a little more before posting.
