Senate Bill seeks to aid deported military Veterans

6/16/16  While legislation has been introduced by Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego which seeks to aid noncitizen US military veterans who have been deported for relatively minor crimes in returning to the US, House Republicans recently offered a proposal to ban beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, from serving in the military to begin with.

 

For people who were brought to the US as children, DACA offers a chance to earn a 2-year, renewable, legal non-citizen status for those with no serious criminal convictions and who meet several other very specific criteria (under 31; entered US before age 16; lived continuously in the US for at least 5 years; in school, graduated from school/GED or receive an honorable discharge from the military).
