US military offers legal migrants path to citizenship amid recruiting shortfall.

The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen.

Both the Army and the Air Force say they will not meet their recruiting goals this year, and the Navy also expects to fall short.

The Marine Corp is the only service on pace to meet its goal.

Defense leaders say young people are less familiar with the military, are drawn more to corporate jobs that provide similar education and other benefits, and want to avoid the risk of injury and death that service in defense of the United States could bring.

In addition, they say that little more than 20% meet the physical, mental and character requirements to join.
