He even voted and held jobs specifically for U.S. citizens. Typical sob story that he was brought here as a child, and the United States "is the only country he knows" (he'll probably say that the doesn't know Spanish too). Blame his parents, they never filed any paperwork for him.
After reading the link there are a lot of unanswered questions. How was he able to join the Army, get jobs, vote and all sorts of things that require proof of citizenship or legal residency? What kind of papers did he present to do all of those things? As the article states government inefficiency was also at play here.

Questioning implies hesitation, as if there would be any extenuating factors that are different from thousands of other cases where they whine that "this is the only country I know". He's too old for any DACA amnesty, and remember there can't be redeeming factors for him to return legally. U.S citizens (not just Legal Permanent Residents) were slighted out of the jobs he held, and he illegally voted, which is a lifetime ban from the United States with no possible chance of a waiver. And he thinks he is entitled to U.S. citizenship!

Just blame it on his PARENTS (who didn't try to fix THEIR country instead of FLEEING it), they failed to file the required paperwork after bringing him in to take advantage of the American system (ALL without proper sponsorship). IF the government would have done its job, those verification programs would have been able to cast him before he was able to serve this fine country for his own motives (Sheesh, he would have probably been like the other 'Raza', and sided with his brethren if something had broke out with Cuba). Speaking of that, we have enough Hispanics immigrating, he needs to get at the END of the LINE for those that are immigrating LEGALLY.
Anyone that says any different is suggesting a double-standard...
I'm really surprised the Army didn't catch that.
And the Justice Dept is a Federal Agency who should have also demanded proof of citizenship.
I joined the US Coast Guard and had to provide a pile of paperwork, even more so because my father was born in Ireland so I had to get all of his citizenship papers to them as well.

That's weird you needed your dad's papers for you to join since you're a native American like as in born here.
This guy held jobs specifically for U.S. citizens for decades, illegally voted his whole life as an adult, and didn't meet the qualifications to serve in our fine military, but no one is saying much about him, even with his immigration lawyer saying he is entitled to U.S. citizenship?...
This article shows how extremely lax the system is here -- how non-citizens are voting in our elections, given unrestricted social security numbers and the whole bit.
Is there any country more lax than the USA? Citizenship has been made meaningless.
