Oscar returned to the United States with the waiver from President Obama and he did two things: He applied for citizenship and he enlisted in the United States Army. Oscar served as a cavalry scout in Afghanistan. fulfilling the dream he had as a child. and when he became a citizen of this country he was obviously willing to risk his life for it. Last year. Oscar testified at a hearing I held about the benefits of allowing immigrants to enlist in the military. The Falcon Robotics Team. which Oscar and his friends started. is now a fixture at Carl Hayden High School. I have told the story about two other members of that team.
