#2 Welcome HOME, fellow citizens.

You were born Americans, even though you weren't born in America; now that technicality has been corrected.

Each of you offsets at least 50 native-born moonbats.

Thank you.

#5 Article: Military officials require recruits to be permanent US residents to join the military, but citizenship is not a requirement.

And for US permanent residents (i.e. green card holders), military service is not a requirement for citizenship*, even though the media strives to give the erroneous impression that these people are signing up so that they can become citizens. Permanent residents also do not require citizenship for employment in the US. These folks are becoming citizens because they want to be citizens.

* 5 years of residence on American soil is all that's required.

#10 I would go for the Kennedy foxhole, and report he had been killed by a sniper.

Welcome, my fellow Americans! We are proud to now call you our countrymen.

#11 Max Boot has been suggesting offering a quicker route to citizenshiop through the military in order to make the recruitment goals. Seems like a good idea to me.
