If someone in this status volunteers to server our country and pledges loyalty and serves honorably, I have no problem with cranting them citizenship - but I dont think it is necessarily “constitutional” is it?

[Fido969]

The term is “press gang”.

[Regulator]

Currently the U.S. military is rejecting about 6 of 10 enlistment applications from Citizens of the United States.

Which illegal aliens do they plan to take in preference to the Americans?

[RedStateRocker]

This did NOT work out well for the Romans.

[dead]

The French Foreign Legion is hiring.

Probably. I don't know. Go to France and check.

[VanDeKoik]

“Pentagon is weighing allowing some immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths to serve in the military”

Hell, it worked for Rome....said no one ever.

[TribalPrincess2U]

What military? Brownshirts?

[Ray76]

>> immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths

They are foreigners. They are illegal aliens.

[LucianOfSamasota]

This actually fits in very well with a grab for totalitarian control. Filling the military with America-haters effectively sidelines organizations such as Oath Keepers. These illegals might have less qualms about firing upon US citizens.

[FreedomGuru]

Will the illegals take the place of the trans-genders?

[jimbo123]

Because enlisting foreign barbarians in the military worked out so well for the Roman Empire?

[McGruff]

The Pentagon consideration would apply to immigrants who arrived illegally as kids...

Odd that the author would use the word kids instead of children.

[kcvl]

Are there any laws left that this arrogant SOB hasn’t broken yet?!

[Gene Eric]

Where else in the World is it possible to arrive illegally without be detained and returned?

[Pelham]

SoCal gang members have been joining the military for some time now in order to learn better combat skills and for access to weapons. Which they bring back to the streets.

This latest stroke of genius by Obama, and without a doubt seconded by the GOPe, will just increase the problem.

“The Pentagon wants `Manual Labor’”
To qualify, he must be cross-dressing pendejo o maricon phaggot.

[morphing libertarian]

If they are “eyeing” them, then deport them and let them join the Mexican army.

[Gay State Conservative]

Just as it's true that whenever I look at a minority doctor...or lawyer...or cop,I ask myself “qualified,or affirmative action?” I think I'll start asking myself the same question whenever I see a member of our Armed Forces.Just another reason why I despise Osama Obama...calling into question the fitness of individuals and institutions that once were clearly worthy of respect.

[SkyPilot]

Hagel rewarding the anus lickers, trannies, Muslim Brotherhood, lesbian fisters, feminist liars, drunk female single moms, and false accusers.

[Jewbacca]

Obama had to get his army somewhere.

That said, given how the military rejects 80% of potential recruits, I don’t see why this would be needed or effective, except as a political stunt.
