Pentagon eyeing immigrants who arrived illegally
Associated Press ^ | May 20, 2014 6:00 PM EDT | Erica Werner

Pentagon is weighing allowing some immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths to serve in the military, a unilateral step by the Obama administration as immigration legislation remains stalled in the Republican-led House.

The announcement came Tuesday as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, defended his election-year decision to rebuff a narrow immigration measure pushed by a GOP congressman to achieve a similar goal.

The Pentagon consideration would apply to immigrants who arrived illegally as kids but already have received work permits and relief from deportation under a program President Barack Obama announced two years ago, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. More than 500,000 immigrants have benefited from the program. …

as far as i am concerned, the birth of Christ to the tribe of Benjamin, and His death on the Cross is the completion of God’s covenant with Israel.

The tribe of Benjamin? The Lion of the tribe of Benjamin? I always thought He was The Lion of the tribe of Judah, but what do I know? God's covenant with Israel is far from over.

That’s true! I wonder how our increasingly perverted, reprobate military will perform in combat, against say like the Chinese or Russians? I think our metrosexual, 0dumb0shit army will throw down their weapons, break & run for cover. Or even if our metrosexual military goes up against white, conservative, Christian patriots, they will turn tail & run at the first instance of resistance against them.

Just imagine how the 0dumb0 army will perform once conservative, Christian, white patriots start to return deadly fire. I predict the metrosexual 0dumbo army will dissolve and run screaming for their inner city hideaways!

Filipinos have long served our Navy with distinction, even though not citizens.

Filipinos & Others have done this. There is ALREADY a provision in the law for this. What Obama is attempting to do now is AGAIN subvert immigration law. There is NO REASON to subvert the law no matter how well intentioned the excuse.

These people have no connection to America. They are not Americans and have no sense of things like the Bill Of Rights or even the history of how this country came to be. They will be mercenaries who fight for a pay check and food.
Get rid of them now....

God fulfilled his Word when he sent the Messiah to the jews, who rejected Him

The Han and the Roman empires both made it around 400 years. Nothing lasts forever. A few thousand years from now the USA will be another note in the history books.

“Some say America is doomed. I say we had best get a real Conservative in the WH as fast as possible so some serious house cleaning can be done through all levels of this government. Then shrink it. If not, THEN we are doomed.”

That will never happen. The GOP will never allow a real conservative to run. Case in point, the last 2 elections.

We ARE doomed. Store food and ammo and live rural, if you can

The Philippines are a U

One more thing, everywhere else illegals have invaded have made Spanish the language spoken and Americans can’t get jobs unless they speak Spanish. Just try to get a job in construction in California.

Or the police or fire department.

Next, our generals won’t be promoted unless they speak Spanish.

Your assertion that Scottish aliens will be filling the ranks.... well, yeah right.

Do I understand this correctly - we are now going to sign up FOREIGNERS to serve in our MILITARY and fight our wars? What happens if they have to fight their own country? Where would their loyalty lie?

THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH AMERICA TODAY UNDER RAT RULE ONE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START ENUMERATING THE ISSUES.

“Openly gay” sexual deviants and illegal aliens. That’s gonna be one hell of a military we’ll all be paying for. Hopefully, the politicians won’t have any wars they want to fight.
