members of the Arizona National Guard, including military recruiters were discovered working as “muscle” and “traffickers” for Mexican drug gangs .. About 12 National Guard were identified as suspects in one of the FBI’s biggest government corruption cases ever, which was almost totally ignored by government officials in Washington and major national news outlets

On Friday in federal court, a non-commissioned officer (non-com) with the border-state Arizona’s Army National Guard was sentenced to federal prison for his role in protecting drug traffickers by using his military position to provide security for shipments of cocaine being transported from Mexico into the United States...

Sgt. Raul Portillo, who listed Phoenix, Arizona, but was suspected of living in Mexico, entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and interfere with commerce by attempted extortion.

I’ve seen some freepers suggest we should allow illegal aliens to serve in the military to gain citizenship.

What could go wrong?

Allowing individuals who have already shown disdain for our laws and institutions and who have no loyalty to this country into our military is a disaster waiting to happen.

I thought by law one must be a citizen or legal resident before enlisting, has that changed now that we have an illegal alien in the White House?

Guess democrats who 'handle' papers like the New York Times and Washington Post didn't hand these links over to their useful idiots.

I don’t know about illegal aliens but foreigners have been allowed to serve in the military for a long time and become citizens after their hitches are up provided they are honorably discharged. That’s not new.
