Well, heres a program that Obama inherited from W, and has now expanded. When Mitt Romney floated this during the election campaign, I also posted vehement objections.

On average, the military recruits about 5,000 noncitizens each year, nearly all of them permanent U.S. residents, or so-called green card holders. Starting in 2006, the military began accepting some foreigners with nonpermanent visas, such as students or tourists, if they had special skills that are highly valued. After entering military service, foreigners are eligible for expedited U.S. citizenship.
