What happens when one of those "illegal aliens" happens to also be in the military? Puts you a bit in a bind, doesn't it, moron?....LOL
Well, by all means, please explain how they have managed to enlist in the U.S. military.Unfortunately, undocumented aliens (even with DACA) are not currently eligible to enlist in the U.S. armed forces.
U.S Military Enlistment for Immigrants - CitizenPath
- These are the military recruits who might be deported under Trump
- Trump administration struggles with fate of 900 DREAMers serving in the military
- Leon Panetta op-ed: What about the 'Dreamers' who serve us?
In 2014, the Defense Department began to allow a small subset of DACA recipients with specialized skills to enter the military, following in the tradition of thousands of noncitizens who have stood up and said they are willing to fight and die for our country. Today, there are several hundred DACA recipients in the Army.
Suggestions:
- Verify the information found in the sources upon which you rely for making assertions and forming your own opinions. For example, insofar as you were of a mind to quote the CitizenPath statement you did, all you really needed to do was perform an Internet search such as "are there DREAMers in the U.S. military." Had you done so, and read the content at the resulting links, you'd have found there are.
- Find better sources of information, namely ones that have a markedly more rigorous information verification and updating process to which they adhere than the ones you've been using. What might lead one to suspect that the CitizenPath article you referenced may not be a particularly reliable one? Well, there are two very basic ones:
- They didn't put a date on it -- things, particularly federal government policy, change.
- It has no byline.
