My mom isnt legal in this country. Will that effect me when I join the Airforce? I was born here.?

Can anyone answer this question? Someone who really knows what they are talking about? Like an Air force recruiter.

1. If you are a legal United States Citizen you will not be affected.
2. Since you were born in the United States you are considered a citizen. As long as you have a legal birth certificate you shouldn't have any problems.
3. One can only HOPE that it will, since you are an accessory to a Federal Crime.
4. Since your mother is a criminal you have a duty as a citizen to protect this country and turn her in. Or you can just be a hypocrite, your choice.
5. None unless you get a job that requires a security clearance of Top Secret or above. In that case it will be an issue when the FBI does your SSBI.
6. Secret clearance might be affected too.
7. You can join the service even if you have just a green card. In your case, if you were born here, then you are a native born citizen so you shouldn't have any problems. Your moms immigration status is irrelevant. I don't have to be a recruiter to know that.
8. If you want the correct answer ask the Air Force Recruiters but I do not think it will effect your enlistment. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen to serve in our Armed Forces but you may be limited in what you are allowed to do while serving unless background checks can support your trustworthiness. Your mothers criminal acts should not be held against you.
9. When you go for any security clearance, the crimes of your mother will come up. and you joining the service even though an anchor baby, it will not stop deportation of your mother because of her criminal actions when she is caught, and with all states wanting enforcement, that day will come. Where will your loyalties lie then. with justice and the American air force or with your mother who has committed several criminal actions. Think about it!
10. you should not be affected, hopefully your mom will be in a good way though, that is a big dilema right now. might even help your mom later on might not. laws are changing constantly
11. It will not affect you directly unless you need a top security clearance. You should ask your mom if there is anyway that she can become legal in this country in order to avoid any future problems for you and her. Im might be hard to deport her, but in some cases it may be the best choice
