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 Government will build the units who will not hesitate to shoot Americans in the strret using illegals.They have no connection to our society and may ever hate Americans and welcome the chance to kill.
Sure, we are rejecting 80% of American applicants, and who needs all this security checking stuff, and character requirements, and eliminating criminals who are secretly living here.
Well we need jobs and the military is a job. Sorry but why are we lookimg to give away even more jobs? Its living in the past to not recognize that service is more than that at this time. Its a replacement for college. Its taken the place of apprentice prograams.
No. We can’t view joingh the military as simple serving thee country any longer. Its far more than that.
Constitutional or not, I have a big problem with it. First, the military is downsizing forcing tens of thousands of enlisted and officers out of the service. We don't have a recruitment problem. So we need illegal aliens to do jobs Americans and legal immigrants can't or won't do? Why should we allow an illegal alien to compete with our own citizens?
We have a program for legal immigrants (green card holders) to serve and receive expedited citizenship. They cannot be officers due to security clearance issues.
We don't need the US military to be a clearinghouse for amnesty. As a veteran who believes that military service is a privilege and an honor, I see no reason to admit illegal aliens who are in violation of our laws. And there are national security considerations as well.
I say not only no, but hell no to allowing illegal aliens to serve in the US military--as is currently the case. We all know that the pro-amnesty advocates are using this issue as a way to place the camel's nose under the tent.
The respect and admiration the American people have for the military is being used as a vehicle to grant a limited amnesty and make it acceptable. Then they can expand it in much the same way as the so-called Dreamer amnesty is being used. In fact those eligible to serve are being drawn from those granted legalization thru Obama's backdoor Dreamer amnesty that has legalized 500,000 people and issued them SSNs and work permits.
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.
