If you're "fighting" for our country but you have family members who are here illegally, guess what, your country doesn't want them even if you are "sacrificing" your life.
The Trump administration has also made it harder for some immigrants to enlist in the military with hopes their service would lead to an expedited path to citizenship.
Last year, the Pentagon began discharging immigrants recruited under a special program started by President George W. Bush.
A federal judge in Seattle later ordered the Defense Department to stop discriminating against naturalized citizens who volunteered to serve in the military under the program.
Nearly 130,000 troops have been naturalized since October 1st, 2001. That's roughly 3 to 6 Corps-worth of people. While not every immigrant who serves is or will be eligible to get citizenship, stating up front you don't want them would appear to be self-defeating.

The program the Trump administration wants to curtail does not protect all immigrants facing removal proceedings from being deported.
It specifically allows military family members who have come to the country illegally — and can't adjust their immigration status — to stay in the U.S. temporarily. A spouse who overstayed a visa, for example, would not be protected under the program.
