According to a newly revealed Department of Defense policy, undocumented immigrants with “high-demand skills” and “mostly rare foreign language expertise or specialized health care training” will now be allowed to serve in the military, USA today reported.
The program is called Military Accessions in the National Interest (MAVNI). Immigrants lacking proper documentation will be allowed in if they came to America with their parents before the age of 16 and are approved under President Obama’s 2012 DACA, or Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, policy.
Interesting announcement from our government, considering that the Army had just announced back in May that 30,000 soldiers would need to be removed from active duty rolls over the next year and a half.
In fact, back in July the Pentagon began doling out pink slips to active duty soldiers while they were overseas fighting in Afghanistan, a move retired Major Gen. Robert Scales told Fox News was “dangerous” and “bad for morale.”
On top of that, the U.S. military now rejects some 80% of all those who apply in the first place.
Robert Maginnis, a senior fellow for national security at the Family Research Council, told OneNewsNow that, “given the downsizing of the military, we have every reason to turn down people who aren’t fully qualified.” The outlet went on to report that the U.S. Army’s 2014 active duty recruiting goal is the smallest it has been in ten years.

My daughter just got out after 8 years. Don’t expect the call soon.
I hope that this put an end to the lie that illegal aliens deserve a “pathway the citizenship” according to immigration activists in that many of them have served in the armed forces. The article states that there are no illegal aliens currently serving and non have served for decades.
The US military will be made up of people for hundreds of countries, like the armies of old were. The leadership came from, say Rome, Assyria, etc. But the troops are made up of conscripts. The Soviet army had millions of untrained, poorly educated conscripts. Now so will Amerika. I am so danged glad that I am done and out. I would have a very difficult time serving today. I would probably have walked years ago.
*OBAMA’S LA RAZA SPEECH*
...”Now, I swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know very well the real pain and heartbreak that deportations cause. I share your concerns and I understand them. And I promise you, we are responding to your concerns and working every day to make sure we are enforcing flawed laws in the most humane and best possible way.
Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. (Applause.) And believe me, right now dealing with Congress —
AUDIENCE: Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can!
THE PRESIDENT: Believe me — believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. (Laughter.) I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. (Laughter.) But that’s not how — that’s not how our system works.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Change it!
THE PRESIDENT: That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.
So let’s be honest. I need a dance partner here — and the floor is empty.” (Laughter.) ...

“We will all vote for Republicans worth voting for with no issue. We will not send more Democrat enablers to DC no matter how stuck your caps keys get..”
That’s where I’m at, After a decade of voting for liberals just because there was an R involved.
I’m going one step further - next year, we will live a simple life, keeping our taxable income low and not paying taxes to this fascist government. I realize not everyone can do this, but quitting feeding the beast is the only way out of this that I can see.
It can only help our cause. I wish more people followed your lead here but there are diehard GOPe bots that will take America into a death spiral rather than admit their actions led to their own/all of our/the country’s demise.
And they are proud of their ignorance.
I'll never forget the look on Mooshell's face that time when she look at the American flag, sneered and muttered something like "ALL this for that flag"... They HATE America and have made their plans obvious to anyone who is willing to give five minutes of their time to check it out...
I believe the longer we put off the coming revolution the more costly it's going to be....and lets be honest with ourselves, SERIOUS civil unrest IS only a matter of time...we will have NO choice, it's being FORCED upon us.. Soon it's going to be, FIGHT BACK or see our Great and Wonderful Country collapse...and our children and grandchildren will live in the very worst kind of slavery and poverty imaginable...
But... What the hell do I know..? :)
I agree with everything you say.
Can’t be having too much patriotism in the military.
Oh, wait.....
When did the Legion get so fat?
I just heard Pat and Jeffy talking about it on Beck. They made a sensible case about the need for better translators. BUT....
It only took me a few minutes to realize that it’s still stupid. Illegal immigrants could be consultants for the military WITHOUT combat training IF they are so badly needed. WITHOUT military access to our bases. Consultants could work via phones and video feeds.
And if it took me only a few minutes, what kind of military advice is Obama getting? Probably directly from ISIS.
Allowing mussies in and things happening like in Afghanistan where our troops were murdered by their military.
Sorry that you are now a Democrat.
“THIS is IMPEACHABLE!!!!!!! THIS is INSANITY and he should be IMPEACHED because he’s no longer SANE!!!”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Frankly, I am shocked that you would make such an irresponsible statement! Did you not think before posting?
How dare you to imply that he may have been sane in the past? That is a ridiculous idea.
LOL!! He’s CRIMINALLY INSANE!!!
Sorry that you are now a RINO "moderate" enabler.
In the past I voted for McCain, and Romney nationally, and for Scott Brown in Massachusetts. But I guess it depends on your belief in how far gone this nation is, and what it will take to restore it, assuming that is even possible at this point.
Personally, I now believe that the only way to save America at this point (assuming such a thing is still possible) is to put conservatives in political offices and enact an agenda based on free markets, limited government and the rule of law. As long as we have a Republican party that actively opposes those ends (and we do, obviously), then I believe our only (slim) hope is drastic action.
As long as the Republican Party establishment believes that it can continue to survive by being Democrat-lite, and that it can continue to maintain power while actively fighting against the core principles of liberty, free markets and Constitutional law, it will never make the necessary change of direction.
Only when the Republican party understands that it must change or die can we hope to turn this country around. Our too-long-serving entrenched establishment politicians can still enjoy their comfy lifestyles, their wealth, power and prestige as members of a minority party. So why should they bother to change direction?
Surely a John Boehner (or an Eric Cantor -- had he not been defeated -- or a Mitch McConnell) would be just as happy to be minority leaders if the election cycle didn't go their way. Yes, they would prefer to be majority leaders, but what good would it do them if a conservative Republican Party won the majority and then threw them out of their cushy positions and all those perks, replacing them with real conservatives?
Ask yourself -- which do you think Mitch McConnell would prefer -- a majority Republican party in which he was stripped of his position by a conservative majority, or a minority Republican party in which he could remain Senate minority leader because the majority of Republican senators were RINOs?
You may argue that we have no time to wait for the Republicans to realize that their only choice is to change or die as a viable party. But if we don't have time for that, then what makes you think we have time to wait for the RINOs and the GOP-e to pursue a "moderately marginal" course of action designed only to maintain their personal fiefdoms at the expense of a free America operating under the rule of Constitutional law?
The GOP had majority power in the House and Senate, and occupied the White House, 10 years ago. What did all that power do to move the agenda of liberty forward? Answer: nothing.
A GOP that cannot even sell liberty, limited governments and free markets to the American people is worse than useless. It is a party of tyranny enablers, and I will have none of it.
Unbelievably, today we once again face the stark choice between liberty and death.
Once again, these are the times that try men's souls. Conservatives need to be waging aggressive war against the totalitarian leftist tyrants on all fronts -- in the branches of government at the federal and state level, in academia, in the media, through public demonstrations, and in the voting booth.
Many argue that we must continue to vote for "the most electable conservative," which means "vote for the RINO if no conservative is running." But I respectfully disagree with that choice. I am done enabling.
If we really are to lose the greatest country in the history of the world, then let's at least be fighting for it when it goes down.
And who knows, maybe -- just maybe, if we show sufficient resolve and conviction -- divine Providence will once again provide the support that gave our founders their unlikely victory in 1776, and grant us once again the "new birth of freedom" that Lincoln called for a century later.
If you reward bad behavior, you get more of it. The RINOs have managed to own the Republican party because they know that conservatives have nowhere else to go.
To continue voting for RINOs is to play right into that strategy. The RINOs have become so certain of your vote that they actually believe they can continue to stay in power by declaring outright war on the conservative base.
And when they do that, they are actually declaring war on core American principles -- war on liberty, war on free market economics, and even war on the Constitution.
The RINO Republicans cannot even make an appeal to the traditional American love of those principles, because they have lost the credibility and historical awareness to articulate them, let alone promote them.
Yes, having Harry Reid continue as speaker is a horrific scenario. But having RINO Republicans win that office is only a marginally better short-term outcome.
And in some ways it is even worse, because as the RINOs “reach across the aisle" to promote marginally modified Democrat policies, they give the Democrats cover from the well-deserved blame that they have unleashed on our country for the last five years.
America is out of time now. We cannot continue on the current path. And as things continue to deteriorate, who do you think the voters will blame if the Republicans are in power when the 2016 elections come around?
You think Mitch McConnell's senate will repeal Obamacare? You think it will take the right position on immigration? You think a Republican Senate will vote against Obama’s left wing Supreme Court nominations?
America needs clear, passionate and articulate voices to advocate and defend our founding principles, to secure our borders, to preserve our nation, and to take legislative and administrative steps to turn this country around, assuming it still can be turned around.
Majority leader Mitch McConnell will NEVER provide that voice or leadership. He is not the guy to turn things around for our formerly blessed nation.
But in 2016 a newly terrified Republican party will be forced to court instead of alienate the conservative base, and come 2017 will be in a position to put the party and our nation on the proper path. Such a duly chastised party has a real chance of nominating a Ted Cruz, instead of a Mitt Romney who, according to last night's panel on Fox News, is at this point the likely Republican presidential nominee.
So in November, for those whose only choice in the mid-terms is between a RINO and a Democrat, I urge them to stay home on election day, or vote third-party -- anything to prove the RINOs wrong in thinking that they can stay in power by literally declaring war on conservatism.
Think about it.
I DO think....and KNOW also.
A legacy for them all that no one will be able to read and believe except MSM editors.
