Maybe for every $25,000 in loan forgiveness... you serve one year in military.

Always thought this would make a good pathway to citizenship.

It is "Naturalization Through Military Service"
https://www.uscis.gov/military/natur...litary-service
but "After Serving in the Military, Immigrants Now Face Deportation"
https://www.military.com/daily-news/...portation.html |

They want illegals to have a pathway to citizenship, maybe allowing them to enlist is a way.
the 2nd article is fluff that really has no bearing. I feel sorry for the guy, but A) he never filed to become naturalized and B) he became a felon, so that's a big 'Sorry, Not Sorry" for me.
maybe there is some tweaking that needs to be done with the rule. |

You didn't read the whole article.
Trump eliminated MAVNI almost immediately after election.
There's another much smaller group of veterans who face potential deportation -- asylum seekers, refugees and certain visa-holders who served in the military to provide specific language, health care backgrounds or cultural skills considered vital to the nation's interest. This group is part of the Military Accessions Vital to National Interest program, otherwise known as MAVNI.
More than 10,000 enlisted in MAVNI from 2009 to late 2016, when the program was essentially abolished, according to retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Margaret Stock, who spearheaded MAVNI. Under Stock, the program made it possible for newly enlisted immigrants to get access to a sped-up naturalization process while still in basic training. |

That's another kinda, sort of, but not really.
MAVNI was extended through December 2016 but wasn't picked back up. Its suspended, not eliminated. This happened in 2009 and wasn't activated again until 2012.
and this is only for Legal Non-Immigrants, legal being the operative word |
