What is this boards opinion on this? I have a hard time believing he should have been deported.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE
The deal is you join and serve and you are put in the front of the line for citizenship, you don't automatically become a citizen.
That line means you have to follow certain rules. Including not being a criminal. This guy was convicted on a drug charge in 2008. Making him ineligible for citizenship.

Okay, that makes sense.

Did about 6 tours in Germany I think.

He was given a general discharge after getting caught smoking weed on base, then prison for distributing two pounds of cocaine...
It's shitty it happened to him, but it was his responsibility to apply for citizenship when he was still a soldier. As it is his application was denied because of his general discharge & felony conviction.
Its kind of his fault for where he is.

What a cluster.

It’s a shame we have to keep citizen felons.
But deporting all non citizen felons is just good government!
I wonder why the words guilty, felony, 2 pounds cocaine, Mexican citizen, and a second rate discharge?

I like the system where the Brits gave a UK passport to Nepali Gurkhas who served in the UK military for 4 or more years. It was a good solution for everybody.
(And, BTW, those are some bad dudes. Between the Gurkhas where we lived in Singapore that protected things like the American School and the sherpas and porters I used on a couple of trekking trips in the Himalayas, I am convinced that Nepali men are some of the baddest MF'ers on the planet.)
That being said, the drug conviction is a pretty big hickey to overcome. If he had been under a program like above, he would not have been deported. I can't say I'd be OK with that, but I also can't see any kind of "provisional" citizenship that is contingent on keeping your nose clean [rimshot].

Understood, he made his bed, he has to lie in it. In Mexico.

Meh, better than going to prison. He got a few years in the military welfare system, so all isn't lost for him.

I'm generally OK with not granting citizenship to drug traffickers.
