There have been a few isolated cases of former members of the armed services who were convicted of a felony being deported. I don&amp;#x27;t agree with that happening either but to say they are regularly deported just isn&amp;#x27;t true.&lt;p&gt;If you serve in the armed forces and don&amp;#x27;t commit crimes, and apply for citizenship you will most likely get it.&lt;p&gt;Also the US accepts alot more immigrants than Japan, China, and many other countries.&lt;p&gt;Most of the complaints about immigration come down to this, there is much more demand than &amp;quot;supply&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
