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. …

By the way, your comment that God no longer has a covenant with Israel is Replacement Theology. God does not go back on His word. Replacement Theology is a great evil.

If someone in this status volunteers to server our country and pledges loyalty and serves honorably, I have no problem with cranting them citizenship - but I dont think it is necessarily “constitutional” is it?

The problem is that we already have immigration laws on the books that the pentagon can not just ignore because the liar in office directs them to do so.

NOTE WELL: the USSC disallowing housing for illegals also nails illegals for “identity theft”......if they use a fake ID, and falsely claim they are citizens. And if they “do so for gain”, the crime can’t just be brushed off.

=======================================

The Pentagon needs to have every recruit fill out a background form----advising recruits that falsifying a govt form is a felony.

Each recruit should check off whatever applies to them:

<><> are you getting in-state college tuition, using stolen SS nos and multiple id's

<><> are you using stolen SS nos and multiple id's

<><> getting multiple EITC refunds, using stolen SS nos and multiple id's,

<><> did you ever engage in voter fraud using fake ids,

=============================================

Illegals known for using stolen SS nos and fake ID's for these:

<><> pocketing welfare, food stamps, EITC refunds, SSI, free medical care, Section 8 housing, UI, Workmen's comp under several identities?

<><> receiving hefty SS checks by claiming "asylum"

<><> falsifying apps to get fraudulent sub-prime mortgages,

<><> making false claims on IRS forms in order to get multiple EITC refunds?

<><> using illegal driver's license,

<><> wire-transferring money back to Mexico; the Third World,

<><> having offshore accounts under multiple identities,

<><> illegals as paid agents of foreign governments,

<><> cashing multiple govt checks under several identities in these categories:

UI, SSI, Workmen's Comp,

TANF (temporary assistance to needy families),

WICS (food assistance),

subsidized Section 8 shelter,

ObamaPhone subsidies,

Utility Assistance subsidies,

School breakfasts/lunches/snacks subsidies,

$5000 a year EITC checks per identity.

ESSAY QUESTION How many how many govt checks are you cashing? In what categories?

We need an American Foreign Legion—serve five years under harsh conditions—earn citizenship—Send them to hot spots. If they serve well—they should get the chance to be a USA Citizen.

Tattoos in bad places and drug arrests.
That would be my guess on the top of the DQ reasons.

Pretty much what the Navy did with Filipinos back in my day (mid-70's and before). They served honorably and were hard-working folks. I think this to be a good thing. If they can't cut the mustard - then out they go.

I say anyone who wants to take an Oath to our nation and serve in the military, they should be given the chance, AND should be put ahead of the line for citizenship.

Geeze, so many of you just don't get the positive of this article. Every day more and more illegals cross our borders for economic selfish reasons, not to mention the criminal types. They want the Golden Goose, as they imagine.

The point of this article is not about the "gimmes", it's about rewarding those who would fight for you, your family, your friends, our way of life and our Country.

Filipinos have long served our Navy with distinction, even though not citizens. If this gives a small percentage of illegal aliens' sons/daughters to do something positive for our Country, why not? One of my best friends on my first ship was a Filipino citizen. Yes, I get the unlawful crossing the border, and maybe they should be excluded.

Before you go ballistic on me, know this:
I was a dues paying member of FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) back in the 80's;
I have lived 2 miles from the border of Mexico and reported to Border Patrol many times when I saw the illegals in the neighborhood, not to mention going through my side gate.
I was a MinuteMan and worked with the co-founder Jim Gilchrist and stood watch on the border back when.

Point: The sons and daughters of illegals who want the opportunity to become an automatic citizen through military service, I say yes. Anyone who volunteers to put their life on the line for the USA is okay in my book. I don't care if they're from Mexico, Scotland, New Zealand, Chile or any other country that respects our values, as long as they are not Muslim.

I don't trust ANYONE who is a Muslim. They can talk all they want, but I've read much of the Koran and some of the Kadiths. I've seen the so-called moderates party on 9/11/2001. I've read the "moderates" words and they always come down to "infidel". Anyway, other then those lying sh*ts, I'm open to anyone who would fight for our Nation's security. End rant.

On a serious note, there was an interesting article (not sure how much truth to it) on the French Foreign Legion in Vanity Fair within the past few years.

They want to turn the military into a stealth welfare waystation on the path to amnesty. Illegals will flow in and get some government job in the states or some european base their entire enlistment and then get out and get citizenship with all the benefits of service and start off chain migrations bringing in their family and their family bringing in their family.

They’re doing this so that conservatives and the public dare not criticize it because its the military and the public believes every single person in the military is rambo waking up every morning to trudge through the dunes of Fallujah fighting off ambushes by the Vietcong.

KEWL!

Finally, our very own Legion Etrangère Americaine! (OK so they'll speak Spanish, but you get the idea.) Why now our blessèd government can get us involved in dozens of regional conflicts without asking Congress ... or Mayor Deblasio, or Okra Winfrey .... or anybody! Of course, if La Legion is ordered to shoot Americans .... ¡No haría problema!
