The Pentagon said Friday that contrary to what an Associated Press report has suggested, there are no new changes to a program for immigrants to gain U.S. citizenship through military service. The Associated Press reported on Thursday evening that some “U.S. Army reservists and recruits who enlisted in the military with a promised path to citizenship are being abruptly discharged.”

After working in and around the military for close to 40 years I’ve also always noticed that immigrant Soldiers & Sailors were afforded every opportunity to advance and to gain citizenship. Commands even sponsored citizenship classes so that they could get their studies done in a timely fashion and go through the proper procedures for citizenship. It was never a “give me” program. It was always and has always been a program where the legal proceedings to gain citizenship were facilitated.
I get the feeling a few of these articles on the subject over the last couple days suggest that it is a hand out, it’s not. It is a lawful process.

Exactly!
Just another attempt to vilify Trump by casting a long-standing process as some new racist attack.
They can blow all the smoke they want; more and more liberals are seeing the Leftists for what they are. I work with many black liberals and, in some ways, they are more hardcore anti-immigration than me!
Keep it up MSM—fences are breaking down all across the plantation.
Colonization
Washington’s standing army consisted of mostly Irish immigrants and British turncoats and were assisted by the French Army and Navy. They did a good job.
Okey doke! You had me scratching my head until I thought of that possibility myself. :)
