I wonder how this will effect people who are currently in the military for citizenship. Especially those who already lost their native citizenship. If they can apply for asylum or something since they can't really go back? Way to screw with people.

You can't get citizenship in the military while a non-resident. Those who are in the military for citizenship, they can't face deportation because obviously they are residents and they are entitled to citizenship while serving  in the military 

 

tough for those who were stripped off their native citizenship for serving in a foreign  army. I can't imagine people were lured in,  got enlisted in the difficult program in order to get an immigrant status, served and now have to leave. Not fair. It the program gets closed, would be fair at least to allow those stay who are already in the program.

This program, named MAVNI, recruits foreigners into the U.S. military and they come from their home countries, enlist here and get citizenship........they don't have green cards...they aren't residents of the US..... It's this program they're killing. This isnt about those who have green cards and join for fast track citizenship......that still exists.

That program still exists, this is completely different than that..read up on MAVNI.  MAVNI is getting killed, not the program where green card holders get expedited citizenship. It's different, these folks aren't even green card holders, they're recruited in with a promise if citizenship without ever being a resident.....It's for specific skillsets.  Essentially recruiters have stipped recruiting undwr this program and stopped talking to those who were in the middle of the recruiting process. Those who have already enlisted aren't affected.
