How did that work out for Rome?
If they want a military career WITHOUT declaring citizenship... why don’t they join a mercenary outfit and make a LOT more money???
For this proposal, we need only be reminded of the uncertainty of outcome that came with Major Nidal Hasan.
Nidal Malik Hasan (born September 8, 1970) is a Palestinian-American former United States Army major, physician and mass murderer convicted of killing thirteen people and injuring more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009.
How many more incidents like this do we need to to completely quash this notion of allowing illegal aliens to serve in the US military? They are not and never shall be friends of the United States.
And Nidal Hasan was admitted legally.
NO!!!!!
That will give them the ability to create an army of foreign nationals who hate America and will be used against its citizenry.
I would offer three key issues:
1. Just because Jose Sanchez says he’s Jose Sanchez from Peru...without any ID...does not make him Jose Sanchez...prime-material for a Army E-1. Just vouching...won’t work.
2. Will the guy/gal speak English at a level for boot-camp and training required? If not, just how many months will you waste on English train (six minimum)?
3. Finally, you might well go and accept 5,000 initial folks...to discover only 25-percent have what you’d accept as a 10th grade education, while the bulk (75-percent are at the 7th to 9th grade level).
On a direct criticism...once you explain to Jose Sanchez that he’ll be led by LGBTQ NCOs/officers, will this be something that he can accept? With the Latin mentality, I would imagine most will just start laughing, saying ‘para nara’ (no).
NFW. My grandfather a LEGAL immigrant received citizenship from his service in WW1 in the horse Calvary. This is not the same.
Cubans who fled Castro were offered citizenship for serving in the 60’s.
The difference today is that illegals would be mercenaries with a mercenary outlook. There is nothing that binds these men to the US and its Constitution or its people or its founding.
Enlisting foreigners did not work out well for the Roman Empire.
What cannot be defeated from without can be defeated from within.
That army will be glad to fire on Anmericans.
Hi.
Help me here.
The U. S. has always used “mercenaries” and granted them citizenship after completion of their enlistment.
Is this situation different?

Of course it’s controversial to take scores of thousands of military age men seen crossing over from China, Russia, and the Middle East, train them how to use sophisticated weapons, give them the weapons, and then add them to our military units.

Fact Check-California bill allows non-citizens with work permits to become police officers
By Reuters Fact Check
4 MIN READ
A California bill allows non-citizens with valid work authorization to become police officers. The bill does not extend those rights to those without legal migratory status, however, contrary to what is being shared by posts on social media.
The text in one post (here) reads: “SB-960 changes California law so that police officers no longer need to be either US Citizens or even legally in the country. So if you are arrested it can be by an otherwise illegal alien. Gee whiz.”
Another post reads, in part, “The bill makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.” (here)
The posts refer to bill SB-960, which can be seen (here), introduced on Feb. 9, 2022, by California State Senator Nancy Skinner.
“The bill would remove the provision that requires peace officers to either be a citizen of the United States or be a permanent resident who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, and would instead require peace officers be legally authorized to work in the United States, and make conforming changes,” the bill reads.
Peace officers is a term used to refer to different law enforcement positions, such as a police officer or a sheriff (here).
A March 18, 2022 hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Safety (page 4) (here) clarified that: “Among the categories of work-authorized non-citizens that would likely be eligible are permanent workers (immigrant visa based on employment), asylees and refugees, and individuals who are protected under the Program of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).”
Robert Gammon, spokesperson for Skinner, told Reuters via email that the claim is false, saying, “SB 960 only allows noncitizens with full federal legal work authorization to become police officers in California.”
This is also stated in the Senate analysis of the bill (here) (titled “08/15/2022 - Senate Floor Analysis”) on page 3.
It is a violation of federal law to work in the U.S. without valid work authorization (here), (here), (here).
VERDICT
Partly False. Bill SB-960 amends the requirement that police officers have to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and allow non-citizens with valid work authorization to hold the position.
Correction Jan. 12, 2023: Changes verb tense in headline, paragraph 1 and verdict when talking about SB-960. The bill was signed into law on Sept. 29, 2022.

If the commie libs want to make U.S. citizenship a Piñata Prize, they should have to have actually served in COMBAT IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY to win it. None of this Pentagon office translator bull****.
France has its Foreign Legion.
Maybe US can have some too?
Send to place no US citizens want to go?
Apparently, retired Legionnaires have preferential shot on French citizenship.
Yeterday there was a report about Mexico complaining about US milotary weapons in the hands of drugs cartels. Could there be any connection with this and the US military being occupied by illegal aliens? Oooohhhh, noooo —just a coincidence.
Absolutely no, not unless they complete a twenty year enlistment.
We could open a military recruiting center in Bagdad,Gaza, Kabul, Lenningrad, .....we could fill those quotas in no time AND more democrat votes!
