Howdy folks! Been gone awhile...spring turkey season and my continuing world travel.
A general answer to your question....
Speaking from first hand experience as a witness and former clearance holder, it takes a lot of time to get cleared being a foreigner. Having said that, there are a significant number of dedicated nationalized Americans (and there were a few in the process of such) in very classified areas in and outside of the military working with intel and signals intercept.
I don't know what age group you may be in but it's obvious that you never worked in the last 15 years in an area that required TS or higher clearance.
Moreover, if you review the published information (take my word on the non-published stuff), they were American-born citizens that sold us out when such an event ocurred within the last 20 years (with the exception of some sensitive info on nukes that went to China).
The USA is an immigrant nation. Let's not forget that truth. Especially when someone desiring to be an American pays the ultimate price in service to our country.
...and fellas: That story about the boy from Central America brought tears to my eyes. From Saving Private Rayn, "Earn it."
