There is no way in hell I'd want to draft illegal aliens. Some of the soldiers we get now aren't exactly the cream of the crop. If we add illegal immigrants to the pot it would degrade our military closer to the levels of third world militaries like Nicaragua, Honduras and maybe El Salvadore. We currently allow LEGAL immigrants to serve as a quicker way to get citizenship. I have no problem with that. But remember Mohamed Farah Aided's (Somalia) son was in the USMC and went back to Somalia to lead the faction when daddy died.

Don't worry about it, just like in WW2, and Vietnam, if aliens got a draft notice, most would decide to go back to their own country. Yes there are thousands of courageous patriotic immigrants, but most have some type of real roots in the USA and aren't waving Mexican flags. If illegals had the gumption to fight a war, why dont they go home and have another revolution in Mexico instead of causing one here? I'm tired of paying to babysit these people. We should send them home and let them march in front of Presidente Fox and wave their flags.

Now, don't get your panties in a wad, it was just a hypothetical "what if" scenario. The draft would only work on legal aliens who have had a sound background check, speak English, etc. I guess the point being, if you want to be an "American" that comes with responsibilities too. Where are the loyalties of the new immigrants?

If the illegals just want the US to provide a paycheck, free health care and free education, that's not a good enough reason for them to be here. Waving the Mexican flag just doesn't cut it.
