hundred other countries across the globe to find the promise of 
America. Increasingly they enlist to fight, and sometimes die, in

  About 69,300 foreign-born men and women serve in the U.S. armed 
forces, roughly 5 percent of the total active-duty force, according to

citizens. The Pentagon says more than 100 immigrant soldiers have died 
in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
