What’s Right with This Photo?

From the AILF’s Five Myths about Immigration by Douglas Massey:
Immigrants are less likely than natives to use public services. While 66 percent of Mexican immigrants report the withholding of Social Security taxes from their paychecks and 62 percent say that employers withhold income taxes, only 10 percent say they have ever sent a child to U.S. public schools, 7 percent indicate they have received Supplemental Security Income, and 5 percent or less report ever using food stamps, welfare, or unemployment compensation.
There are also a number of non-nationals in the US military too. They are promissed citizenship once they finish their tour, I believe. Sounds a lot like Starship Troopers, doesn’t it?
