An Iraq war veteran who grew up in the United States says the country he fought for now wants to send him back to Mexico.

He went to war a soldier but somehow returned as an illegal immigrant.

But the soldier says he is not going down without a fight.

He spent 12 months in Iraq fighting for our country but then, just a few months after returning home, Castaneda received this deportation letter.

His parents brought him to the United States from Mexico illegally when Orlando was just three years old.

He filled out all the required paperwork and was even told his military service would put his application for citizenship on the fast track. But somewhere along the line, immigration officials speculate there was a mixup or burp in the system leaving him and his American family in a state of limbo.

He lied on his application form

A recruiter desperate to meet his numbers did so on his behalf

Not sure what documents you fill in, sems hard to believe it would be less onerous than an I9

PS If you are a Resident you can get Citizenship faster, but he is not a Resident.
