In the fwiw dept, foreigners have served our military admirably since 1776.
I’ve served with Australians, Filipinos and Brits before they actually got their citizenship.

Ummmmmmmmmm...the woman who began this stupid program ( an ACTIVIST IMMIGRATION LAWYER, from Alaska, named Margaret Stock ), during the last years of Obama's second term, claimed that "foreigners" ( she actually called them "IMMIGRANTS, which they weren't! ) had fought with us since
1775. What she didn't add and neither did you, is that the French came to help us because 1) the French and English had been fighting forever ( hence the enemy of my enemy....) 2)they then went home.
Neither Kosciuszko nor Lafayette came here to become "citizens" of an as yet nation.
Yes, later on, we have had some non-citizens in our military who later did become citizens; however, not the same thing as this MAVNI program and Trump has stopped this program dead.
