- One week since we brought you Paul Canton’s citizenship fight, viewers have reached out to us with both cynicism and outrage over what the former US Marine is dealing with. Canton is also hearing from many viewers, including a California attorney and podcaster, a veterans advocate, and even the office of U.S. Congressman and Floridian Gus Bilirakis, a Republican from Pinellas County. All of them watched our story on Canton’s years-long citizenship fight and want to help.
ARE YOU GUYS SAYING RECRUITERS MAY HAVE "STRETCHED THE TRUTH" WHILE SIGNING SOLDIERS UP???
As a Marine, I am disgusted at this. He should have gotten his naturalization papers when his enlistment was over, pure and simple.
There are no “former” Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Disgusting way to treat a Marine.
He is more American than most most people I know in this country. This is a shame.
Son of a veteran here. The fact that the government just uses our men and women in uniform and cast them aside disgusts me, but the fact that this man enlisted on a promise and was denied that on a technicality boils my blood.
Disgusting. This has been happening for decades in the military. Not long ago, there was a Marine deported to Mexico. What a disgrace.
If he served in. the US military honorably, he should be given citizenship regardless. He earned it. Tennessee is lame.
The man served our country and was promised u.s. citizenship after se rving our country, make it so!!!
😮 Give the man his citizenship he put his life on the line for his country and that’s how you repay him…
When I was wearing green , people shook my hands . Now I’m wearing brown and they want to deport me. This story is not new.
As a retired Army 1SG, what this U.S. Marine is going through is a shame and turns my stomach. Maybe he needed a kick in the butt to get the paperwork rolling earlier but using that as an excuse to reject his request for U.S. citizenship is shameful.
This has happened to tons of Latino soldiers, but it doesn’t make nationwide news.
A recruiter lied...imagine that...Same here. 13 years in and no Army College fund at the end of it.
The US immigration system is broken. I moved here when I was 5 years old and I was not a citizen until I was 21. How are you going to deny someone who risked their lives for freedom their citizenship? This is a country made of immigrants. It's our strength
This is NOT the only CASE...many have been DEPORTED deny benefits. This is DISGUSTING!
He served in our military. He is a United States citizen whatsoever. No doubt about it.
This happened to my Cuban hairstylist 30 years ago. Served 4 years in the Army and refused citizenship.
International news. Been watching from South Africa.
IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!! AND HE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE, EVEN IN WWII, VIETNAM ETC, IT’S HAPPENED. MAYBE NOW ALL WILL GET THEIR DUE!!! SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT.
