America's Heroes Deserve a Home: Repatriate Our Patriots
How do Veterans Get Deported
Many veterans, including immigrants, have bravely donned the uniform, defending this nation's freedom. Their sacrifices are a testament to their unwavering spirit, enriching the American tapestry. Yet, a cruel reality exists. Some, despite honorable service and decorations, face deportation due to technicalities or past mistakes. Often, these offenses are minor, a stark contrast to the sacrifices made. What's more heartbreaking is that some may have been misled about citizenship via service, leading to a devastating betrayal.
This injustice cannot stand. We, at Repatriate Our Patriots, stand with these forgotten heroes.
Their service deserves recognition, not rejection.
Non-Citizens and Military Service
Service members born in the Philippines, Mexico, Jamaica, China, and South Korea - the top five countries of birth among those naturalized - comprised 39% of naturalizations since FY 2017. The next five countries of birth - Nigeria, Ghana, India, Haiti, and Nepal - comprised an additional 17% of military naturalizations from FY 2017 to FY 2021.
OUR TEAM
Repatriate Our Patriots is operated by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers who come together to make a positive impact in the lives of our veterans.
