Personally I've been struggling to be recognized as a U.S. citizen by the Selective Service System, but that isn't what this blog is about (I am a citizen). I noticed something on their website which I found rather interesting:
ATTENTION, UNDOCUMENTED MALES
& IMMIGRANT SERVICING GROUPS!
If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It’s the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to the Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94636, Palatine, IL 60094-4636.
Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it’s too late!
Selective Service does not collect any information which would indicate whether or not you are undocumented. You want to protect yourself for future U.S. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service. Do it today.
Website excerpt over. Now, taking this at face value, what it is saying is illegal immigrants ("undocumented") can get a social security number, and from there who the hell knows what else they'll be able to do. I don't want anyone who is not a U.S. citizen getting a social security number. There are too many benefits, programs, ect. involved to just open up everything except official citizenship to these cheaters and criminals.
You either stand on principle or you stand for nothing at all.
