Here's How Many Illegals Obama Has Enlisted in the US Army
2015-05-09
Recently the Army confirmed what many have long suspected, that illegal immigrants saved from deportation by DACA have been allowed to enlist in the U.S. Army, totaling 81 enlistees thus far this year, nearly twice as many as the 46 enlistees previously announced.

"These individuals have signed enlistment contracts, and are currently undergoing the process to determine their eligibility to enlist -- which includes a thorough background check," said Army spokesman Wayne Hall.
Somehow, I would feel more comfortable if there were a "Capt." or "Maj." in front of Mr. Hall's name.
I am under the impression that one path to citizenship has long been through military service, with not necessarily much concern whether the volunteer is legal or not. Am I wrong?

#5  If we're cutting tens of thousands out of the force structure, why are they recruiting non-citizens? Making a complete lie out of the meme - doing the jobs Americans won't.

#4  I don't know whether to applaud or criticize this.

In WWII, lots of illegals/non citizens enlisted and fought for us. It was a ticket to citizenship for them. I have personal knowledge of a couple of really tough young men that were illegals and fought like tigers hoping for citizenship as a benefit for serving.

But that was then and this is now.

As for MISTER Hall, I would prefer he was a Captain or a Major (preferably with extensive service in harm's way).

#3  I question his "top level clearance". That's why he only knows what he reads in the newspapers
