Closer and closer the resemblance to Rome.

Illegal aliens manning our Armed Forces?

Why not take the next logical step and outsource all our military manpower needs to China?

Use of non-citizens worked for the Rome.

Oh, wait.

What does this kid do about his divided allegiance?

Who said anything about a divided allegiance? This is the only country the kid knows and loves it enough to join the Army.

“Statesmen don’t give a flip “what the public wants.”

Neither do traitors who sell out their nation to third world interests for cheap illegal labor.

I see no benefit in changing the current residency standards, as I understand them, with respect to enlisting non-citizens in the US Army.

Residency standards for enlistment of non-citizens:

(1) Entered the United States on a permanent residence visa or has an Alien Registration Receipt Card (INS Form 1-551/I-551 greencard or stamped I-94), and (2) Established a bona fide residence, and (3) Established a home of record in the United States.

A number of people who join the Army do not do it for the love of this country. They might do it for adventure, a better pay than what they would earn in their own country, training to help get ahead in a drug cartel, etc.

Most foreigners will have at the least divided loyalties. Some will use their position to infiltrate the military and provide information to the enemy.

Or his parents are filling him with La Raza propaganda and telling him he must remain in favor of his Mexican ancestors because America was stolen from Mexico.

Honestly I think that’s a good idea. Let able-bodied immigrants (also legals),
seeking citizenship, serve in the military first. Citizenship has to be deserved.

This is worthy of citizenship "and honorable" IMO. I agree wholeheartedly.

Too many around here act as if the U.S. is supposed to be a democracy instead of a republic.

If Americans won’t do the job, then what else do you expect? Would it be better to have criminals running around loose?

That’s a very liberal thing to say about our fighting men and women.

Absolutely. I’ll take a million immigrants ready to fight for their new country any day of the week over the soft liberal and psuedo-conservative “Americans” that sit on their fat backsides and depend on their betters in our armed forces to keep them free.

another side benefit to consider for military service is that the vast majority of service members are Republican or conservative. Thus, the illegals who served will have picked up a healthy dose of conservative thinking, true patriotism, and overall, the right attitude about being an American.
