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.

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!

The funny thing is seeing the older reserves, guard and out of shape personnel in the military now. There was a discussion today about the folks now serving....

The opening statement isn't factual. The rest of the article is based on a falsehood. Typical treason from the left wing press.

A great idea. Be based in places such as American Samoa, USVI and other places not on US soil. They operate with no media disclosures, so "jobs" can be "accomplished" before they become big problems.
5 yrs and you get US citizenship.

actually, it is a time honored solution ranging at least as far back as the legions of the Roman Empire - without foreign troops the Roman Empire would have collapsed hundreds of years earlier - soldiers retired from the military as citizens of Rome, often with a plot of land of their own.
