now hope is on the horizon for potentially thousands who served as a new initiative seeks to right what some call a decades-old wrong. we follow one navy vet on his emotional journey back to his family. here's abc's john quinones. >> reporter: more than 1,000 miles from his home state of texas -- >> we're all cowboy fans. stuck with them everywhere i go. >> reporter: joe rico, decorated navy u.s. veteran, stuck living in this unfamiliar place. five years ago a judge deported him from the u.s. to mexico. >> i got deported from my home, america. from my mom, everybody. everybody's over there. >> reporter: his deportation was triggered by a conviction on drug charges, which he says stemmed from his struggles with addiction after he returned home from war. >> went through some depression.

i even asked the judge, "are you really going to deport a veteran?" he said, "i thank you for your service but you've got to go." >> reporter: his greatest support is back home in texas. his mother, frances door fwr sia, she's devastated. dreaming of the day when she might be able to embrace her son again. and now joe is about to get his chance to return home. >> i'm ready to go back home. my mom, she's wait thing for me. it's been a long time. >> reporter: joe is just one of hundreds, maybe thousands, of veterans who feel they were unfairly deported to their birth countries for various crimes. since the revolutionary war, non-u.s. citizens have been allowed to serve in the u.s. military. today, more than 32,000 of them are enlisted. many of them lured by an enticing incentive. if they serve in the u.s. military, they might get american citizenship.

when joe was 4 years old, he came to texas from mexico with his family. why were they coming here? >> for the american dream. better life. >> your dad wanted a better life for the family? >> my mom. my mom. since day one. >> how would you describe frances? >> beautiful. best mom in the world. >> reporter: joe had legal permanent resident status but wasn't a u.s. citizen. when september 11th happened, he decided to enlist, spurred on not only by the prospect of citizenship but by an urgent sense of patriotism. what was your heart telling you? >> to sign up. >> sign up? >> sign up, step up, and i did. >> reporter: joe was deployed twice in the iraq war. while you were there protecting the united states, how did that feel? >> felt good. felt like i was doing something. >> like you were giving back? >> giving back, making myself proud. i loved it, i miss it. >> reporter: he wanted to become

a u.s. citizen, but he says trying to navigate the process and the paperwork while serving was difficult. wasn't there a time that you could have requested full citizenship and maybe have prevented the deportation? >> i did. i sent out a package. the whole -- fingerprints, picture i.d.s, everything. i had a whole package. >> nothing became of it? >> nothing became of it, it got lost in the system. >> reporter: joe says he never followed up. after he was honor really discharged, he went to college, bought a house. he says he also started to struggle with mental health. he believes head of suffered with ptsd, though never formally diagnosed. >> if you hadn't had it, do you think you would have turned to drugs? >> no, i don't think. i was doing great until that part of my life. >> reporter: to cope joe says he started using methamphetamine and started selling it to support his addiction. he served five years in prison on the drug convictions.

you understand you broke the law? >> i broke the law. yeah, i understood the whole -- did the crime, do the time. but getting deported, it's like getting punished twice. i'm still paying for it. >> reporter: in his fight to get back home, joe started working with robert vivar, who runs an advocacy group helping deported veterans with paperwork and access to legal services. >> it is pretty common for that situation to have occurred, where they actually applied for citizenship and never followed them through. >> reporter: non-u.s. citizens serving in the military have long been subject to deportation for violent crimes like murder. but deportations like joe's, for nonviolent crimes, have increased since 1997 after the clinton administration passed the illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act. >> it created a category called aggravated felony, where any conviction of more than one year

carried an automatic deport deportation. on top of that, it took away discretion that an immigration judge could use when addressing an issue of a veteran in removal proceedings. >> reporter: a 2019 report by the government accountability office found that many deported veterans' convictions were drug related. and that immigration and customs enforcement, i.c.e., policy requires the agency to take additional steps to proceed before a veteran is deported, but that i.c.e. did not consistently follow its policies and did not consistently identify and track such veterans. >> it's been a hard road. my whole- >> reporter: like joe rico, u.s. marine and iraq war veteran edwin salgado was deported to mexico after a drug conviction. he also did not have u.s. citizenship at the time. >> i missed my appointment for

the fingerprints because i was deployed. >> reporter: he says he was diagnosed with ptsd after his deployment. but the v.a. hospital that he'd like to receive treatment from is across the border, a world away. as long as edwin is barred from entering the u.s. >> ptsd is bad. i've come close to suicide a few times. i don't want to do that, you know. but sometimes it's just -- those thoughts come into your mind. you just want it all to shut down, you know? >> reporter: in the seven years he's been in mexico, edwin has created a new life south of the border with a wife and daughter. >> my goal is just to be happy. that's it. that's only thing i want. i just want to have access to the u.s. i want to be able to go to the v.a. to get treatment. >> reporter: he also found a sort of therapy in art, helping create this mural along the tijuana/california border.

>> the upside down flag is a sign. we're in distress, we need help. we're willing to die for our country. as soon as we're not needed anymore, we're just discarded, you know? >> reporter: at least 75 deported veterans have returned to the u.s. since 2022. that's when the biden administration launched an initiative providing a pathway back to the u.s. and halting future deportations. >> it's not legislation, so it could change at any time. we need legislation to be passed. >> reporter: for yeast, u.s. congressman mark takano has been trying to pass that legislation. >> deporting veterans, people who served our nation, put their lives on the line, there's something wrong with that. >> reporter: as the ranking member of the house committee on veterans affairs, today he introduced his fourth bill on the issue with bipartisan support. >> we aim to prevent

deportations of veterans by making sure that noncitizen veterans become citizens. and we mandate a number of steps that the department of defense has to take to make that happen. >> reporter: his bill would also create a process for a veteran's military service to be considered before deportation. your republican peers who voted down your previous bills have said that they believed it would open a path for criminals to stay in the country and that it creates additional carve-outs to an already-broken immigration system. your response to those criticisms? >> we do not defend at all heinous, serious crimes. murder, crimes against children. we do say that if there's -- if anyone deserves a second chance, it is a veteran. somebody who's worn the uniform of the united states. it is a travesty to me that these folks who have been

deported can get back into the country in a coffin to be buried at national cemetery. >> they can be guaranteed the right to be brought back into this country if only they're dead? >> if only they're dead, that's right. >> reporter: back in mexico, joe rico has been in drug rehab, recovering from his addiction. >> i'm just happy that i get to go home tomorrow. i love you guys. it's very big for me. >> sober now? >> sober now. no cravings. i love it. >> how many nights have you cried? >> can't -- lost count. >> what brings the tears? >> my mom. how many times i let her down. >> reporter: but in may, due to biden's initiative, joe finally received the news he was rate waiting for for so long. his request to return to the u.s. had been approved.

>> i keep thinking i'm going to get a call and something's wr wrong, i don't know. i'm ready to go home. >> reporter: accompanied by his partner, sonia jiminez, and fellow deported veteran, edwin salg salgado, the walk to the immigration checkpoint filled with bittersweet good-byes. >> all right, bro! welcome, welcome, welcome! >> reporter: joyous reunions greet them on the american side in san ysidro. but the journey back home is far from over. high above the clouds, with hours to go before landing back in texas, there's only one person on joe's mind. a mother's love, no words needed.
