That’s right.
Fraudulently documented foreigners are being given our country by our representatives.

I’d say vote out every single one of them, but their “constituents” won’t care.

It is one thing to hire and use illegals for picking crops, working menial labor, cleaning streets, working 7/11 s BUT when the illegals are given the vote, (AND THEY WILL SHOW UP), end up Policing your streets and Fighting your wars, it is the last step sliding down the razorblade of life.

Believe a like process was the beginning of the end for the Roman Empire..

No sense recording history if people pay no attention to it.

From linked article....

More than 30 Republicans with more centrist views on immigration joined all Democrats in opposing the two amendments offered to a Defense Department spending bill. The amendments failed narrowly with votes of 207-214 and 210-211, respectively.

Certain young illegal immigrants qualify for DACA if they came to the U.S. as minors and have worked toward at least a high school education, among other requirements.
The Obama administration has already enlisted some DACA recipients through a program, Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI), that recruits immigrants with valued foreign language or medical skills to serve in the military. Gosar said the Pentagon confirmed to his office that it had recruited 141 DACA recipients as of April.

The amendments would have blocked the Obama administration from using the MAVNI program to enlist people in the DACA program.

Democrats sought to tie the provisions to the harsh rhetoric on immigration from presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“Clearly, House Republicans are taking their anti-immigrant cues from Donald Trump,” said Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.), the chairman of House Democrats’ campaign arm.

“They come here in the spirit of Donald Trump,” Rep. Joaquín Castro (D-Texas) said of the House GOP. “What we’re seeing with these amendments is part of a larger pattern of hostility toward Hispanic Americans on the part of the Republican Party.”

King and Gosar said that the Obama administration is stretching the limits of MAVNI.

“It’s not for the president to use this as a blanket amnesty,” King said.

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), an Iraq War veteran, argued that the military should be able to recruit anyone who could help the nation.

“Simply put, we shouldn’t let political posturing stand in the way of our military’s requirement goals,” Gallego said.

It’s the second time in a week that House Democrats have used an immigration-related provision in an appropriations bill to try to tie the GOP to Trump.

The annual spending bill for legislative branch operations typically passes with a wide bipartisan majority. But the measure passed largely along party lines last week because Democrats opposed a provision to keep the phrase “illegal alien” in subject headings, contrary to a Library of Congress decision.

Republicans maintained that the phrase simply reflects that some people are in the country illegally. But Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Linda Sánchez (Calif.) urged fellow Democrats to vote against the spending bill, arguing that the term “perpetuates racism and promotes hate.”

Debate over allowing illegal immigrants to serve in the military nearly sunk the annual Defense authorization bill last year.

The House Armed Services Committee had approved a provision establishing a “sense of the House” that the Pentagon should review allowing DACA recipients to enlist during its markup of the bill. But the House later voted to eliminate the language in response to conservative outcry.

Not unless you have tons of money to donate to the proper people.

You haven’t had representation for decades, Islamic money from places like Saudi Arabia have insured that. The Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Iranian Imams, the Wahhabis, Soros, Zuckerberg, Bezos...they have representation. You have squat peasant.

49%. Having representation doesn't mean we win.

An illegal who enters the military should, when caught, be given a court martial, busted to E1, sentenced to the maximum for fraudulent enlistment, and then deported after serving his sentence. There is no other sensible response, except that it should never happen in the first place.

Makes sense, let’s train and arm illegals from the south, predominately LaRaza adherants bent on taking the Southwest back by force advocating the genocide of any non-’the race’ in their way. What could possibly go wrong ? How does this impact the Armys planned budgetary drawdown reduction of 40,000 in the next year ? They planning on paying illegals under the table like a picker ?

IIRC Rome couldn’t support the vast empire so they paid mercenaries and tribute so that foreigners would serve as their army. Great idea.
