Here is a nice website for the guys who are against immigrant soldiers in the USA.

First sentence sums it up:
Our understanding of the meaning of American patriotism would not be complete without considering the pride and commitment immigrants demonstrate on behalf of the United States.
Might want to look around at some of the links and read up on immigration and the military. I'm sure some of those people would really appreciate your "thanks for you service, but I'm against you holding a weapon for USA".
I'm sure they would, but why don't they want to be a U.S. citizen? If they are truly "Americans",(as you asserted as your adjective deffinition in the previous thread that this was discussed) why not become the noun deffinition?(BTW, do you even know what an adjective is?)Now, I do understand some issues where the U.S. might need a citizen of another country to help.(as in a spy etc.)I think that becoming a U.S. citizen ensures the fact that you want to help America. I think that it helps keep the door shut that might lead one to "buy talent". I also think that the IOC should allow only athletes who are citizens of the state that they represent.
Sincerely,
Woops
(BTW, you have made me think about if it's my own prejudices getting in the way of my real opinion. I'll have to think about it after I take care of a rat the size of a chipmunk.[:-])
