For this week's episode, Nate speaks with sociologist Sofya Aptekar (@sofyaaptekar), a professor at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, about her book 'Green Card Solider: Between Model Immigrant and Security Threat.' Many people don't realize that you can enlist in the US military without citizenship—and that, at least for a time, the US military helped facilitate naturalization as a US citizen. But it turns out that it's not always (or even often) the primary driver of green card holders being recruited. And the experience of thousands of deported veterans can also attest to the fact that veteran status does not guarantee any protection to non-citizens.
