Chew on that Obummer.


A sign outside a business in West Tisbury, Mass., welcomed the Obamas to Martha’s Vineyard for their 10 day stay.

>>>Texas Gov. Rick Perry has picked up two important endorsements in South Carolina for his 2012 presidential campaign.

Longtime state legislator David Wilkins, who played a big role in George W. Bush’s White House races, says he’s signing onto Perry’s bid. And Harvey Peeler, majority leader in the state Senate, is jumping on the Perry bandwagon, too.

Wilkins, who rose to House speaker before Bush named him ambassador to Canada, and Peeler are the most notable backers to announce their support for a candidate in early primary-voting South Carolina.

Both endorsements came even though U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of encouraged fellow leading Republicans in South Carolina to hold off for now on making endorsements.<<<

>>>>>Rick Perry picks up big endorsement in South Carolina>>>>COLUMBIA, S.C. — Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry stayed on script during two appearances in Florence Friday morning, attacking President Barack Obama on job creation while touting his own record for job creation as governor of Texas.

In doing so, Perry, governor of Texas, picked up a key endorsement from Florence physician Eddie Floyd, one of the state’s most influential Republican fundraisers. Floyd introduced Perry at Carolinas Hospital Systems as “the next president of the United States.”

......About 500 people crowded into Bazen’s Family Restuarant for Perry’s appearance in Florence.

Another 300 had to wait outside because of fire safety rules. <<<...........

A debatable point. However, how is it even possible for illegal aliens to serve in the US military?

Sounds like Perry wants to use the 10th amendment to give him cover for amnesty and other goodies for illegals. He just went down considerably in my estimation.

What the hell are illegal aliens doing in the U.S. military? What Social Security number are they using? Somebody needs to go to jail.

Is it that we’ve got more military jobs than Americans to fill them?

No, I didn’t think so.

I don’t believe recruiters can recruit illegals. So....

Illegal aliens should not be in the military. Period. End of story. They should be expelled when found out. From the military and the country.

Do you mean that enough illegal immigrants are getting into the military that we actually have to have a policy as to how we deal with that?

How can the country not vet the people going into the military to at least know if they are citizens? Are birth certificates not requested? Oh wait,m they can be made to say anything...

Perry said states should be responsible for their own immigration laws, also stating that the federal government must step up border enforcement.

Only if they keep their illegal immigrants in their own state. Perry is nuts on that one.

“. . . his support for a national program that would allow illegal immigrants who serve in the military to become citizens. “

Huh?

Does this newspaper, or Perry himself, confuse illegal immigrants with non citizens? People commonly do that in their argument and it is offensive, but governors and newspapers do know better.

I have served alongside many such troops who seem devoted to this country. Illegal immigrants are in a completely different category, in fact.

From About.com:

In order for a non-citizen to enlist in the military, he/she must first be a legal immigrant (with a green card), permamently residing in the United States. It’s important to note that the military cannot and will not assist in the immigration process. One must immigrate first, using normal immigration quotas and procedures, and — once they’ve established an address in the United States — they can find a recruiter’s office and apply for enlistment.

The globalists want a diverse military that looks like America after all the social engineering. What they will do and it is already happening is
They will take so many blacks, so many women, so many illegals, so many sodomites, eyc, etc.

That means that some of the best and the brighest white boys will not be allowed in because they have not filled their quote of transexual American Indians.

On this topic, we’ve seen a number of citizenship ceremonies over in Iraq and other areas overseas where active duty are awarded citizenship. I have the same initial reaction...how do people get into the military w/o citizenship. I would hope they are somehow documented foreigners. On the flip side, I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate love of our country than to volunteer for service in this way, and citizenship is a just reward for that sacrifice.

“Illegal Immigrants Who Serve In The Military Deserve Citizenship”

I completely agree, but they have to sign up for a 6 year hitch.

someone please explain how an illegal alien gets into the military. Permanent Residents, yes - but illegals? no way!
