I was for citizenship for military service when I first heard of it, but after thinking it through I'm not so sure. I believe the government should treat everyone the same. If the immigrants receive, and I'm sure they do, the same pay as citizens, I think it unfair. How much is citizenship worth? Seems to me that we'd be paying an illegal immigrant more than our citizens.
I’m not sure the French Foreign Legion is paid or treated the same as the French standing army.
Oh, crap. Did I just refer to something French as a potential model? I apologize.
Any Foreign Legion would have to understand that they’d...
a) Be light infantry - no cush jobs for you
b) Be last on the list to receive high-tech gear - sorry, citizens first!
c) Be first on the list for sh!t deployments - that’s the price you pay for potential citizenship
Etc.
