In a break from previous votes on the issue, the House on Thursday rejected two GOP proposals to prevent the Obama administration from enlisting young illegal immigrants to serve in the military.
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.

Why on earth would we want to continue this stupid program?
My father predicted before his death in 2008 that the country would decay under Obama. He was 88 years old and we kind of scoffed. How wrong we were!
Yay, House!
We should let the illegals run our nuclear subs, whaddya say!?
That will really prove that we aren’t wacis’!
Our government is now openly siding with fraudulently documented foreigners against the citizens and the rule of law.
We are going to START letting illegal aliens into the military. It has always been illegal until now.
This bill was trying to block the planned introduction of illegal aliens into the military.
I’m beginning to have the feeling of Alice falling through the rabbit hole.
How many of our finest were killed by the muzzies they were training to defend themselves?
I think the GOP did what the Dems do. They wanted the bill to pass but also wanted to look like they opposed it, so after calculating how many were needed 30 pubbies who are not up for reelection or are in safe districts voted YES and the rest of them could say “I fought against this but was defeated”.
I tried to tell many of my friends that Obama would be a disaster. Even had relatives accuse me of racism for not supporting the ‘first black man to get a nomination’ in our once great country. They were all swept up in the ‘historical’ election. I WISH I had been wrong. Sadly, he has created much more destruction than even I had ever imagined. I have only had one or two recently tell me I was right in 2008. I am heartbroken for my beloved country. What Obama has done to us is criminal.
It really is absolute madness.
Stark, raving lunacy.
We have already lost so much blood and treasure to this savage psychopaths, and they are just laughing at us over how f***ing stupid we are :(
"On 9 March 1636/7 (ref. Mass. Records 1:188) the General Court ruled that although only freemen (a political term meaning full citizenship individuals) could be elected as officers, all members of the trained band (i.e. those males required to both own weapons and to attend the musters) could vote in the company elections provided that they had taken the oath of loyalty to the General Court known as the "residents' oath."
Most every country with significant armed forces have allowed enlistment by foreigners abroad during wartime, and have for several thousand years.

umm hiring illegal aliens and aiding and abeting their illegal entry...lawlesness..
I mumbled to my wife the day after the 2008 election “they’ve ruined the country” - but I really never expected it would get this bad.......
I understand. Of course, we can’t exonerate the Republicans who allowed him to destroy our country. I know you know that. I think, in the end, we are all responsible. I know I am; I didn’t put up enough of a struggle against the forces of evil.
Yes, I know. I understand, believe me.
My father did the same. Said he was crippled while in the Army to have America elect this stooge.
He knew he didn’t have much time left and said that the US was on its way to the end.
Right. Ingratiate all mussie extremists into our military and other government offices. Since we have a mussie president, why not?
The eGOP strikes against Americans again!
