I thought the military was meeting recruiting goals with little problem.
Of course, the Boston Globe is a mite prejudice.

Why don't we just start with some billets first. I would have stayed in past 20 if they had an E8 and E9 billet for me.....

Send all recruiters to Mexico. If all of them are coming here to work and take our benefits, then they need to do their sure of protecting this great nation by serving in the military.

I have no problem with granting citizenship to legal immigrants in exchange for serving in the U.S. military.
It beats the hell out of granting citizenship to illegal aliens for successfully avoiding getting picked up while using someone else's social security number.

Next we'll have a foreign legion. Stationing it in Gitmo or Guam or other American territory would be the perfect solution then.

Nothing New Here.
Why is this news?
The Philippines supplies hundreds of recruits each year, and have been doing so for decades.
Mexicans are probably next.
Lots of foreigners in the services now. They can apply for citizenship after they get an honorable discharge.

I guess the MSM and the Boston Globe have given up trying to say that the US Military is not meeting their recruiting goals, and decided to attack what they might do.

We had a foreign legion until the First World War. Most Americans until that time considered the regular military Scum or lower. Except in times of National Emergency most Americans considered enlisted service as living among the scum of the earth, Federal Parasites.

The proposal to induct more noncitizens, which is still largely on the drawing board...I love it when a silly notion is transformed in to liberal news! The Boston Globe is a master of BS!

Well it's about time that "undocumented workers" started pulling their weight.
