WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon is weighing allowing some immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths to serve in the military, a unilateral step by the Obama administration as immigration legislation remains stalled in the Republican-led House.

The announcement came Tuesday as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, defended his election-year decision to rebuff a narrow immigration measure pushed by a GOP congressman to achieve a similar goal.

The Pentagon consideration would apply to immigrants who arrived illegally as kids but already have received work permits and relief from deportation under a program President Barack Obama announced two years ago, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. More than 500,000 immigrants have benefited from the program.

The Defense Department "continues to examine the laws and policies that address the eligibility of noncitizens to serve in the military in order to determine if and how our programs could be applied to DACA recipients," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen said in a statement.

Such a move by the Pentagon would be the latest example of the Obama administration taking incremental steps by executive action on immigration with comprehensive overhaul legislation stuck in the GOP-led House 11 months after passage by the Senate. Obama is coming under pressure to make broader moves on executive action as the likelihood grows that the House will not pass any immigration bill this year.

Tuesday's developments provided further evidence of the slim chances of House action, as Boehner moved to shut down the likeliest area of compromise on the contentious issue.

Boehner told reporters that a national defense bill was not the place for a vote on California Rep. Jeff Denham's measure offering citizenship to immigrants here illegally who serve.

"We have supported it in the past but trying to do this on the national defense authorization bill seems to us be an inappropriate place to do it," Boehner said. He said there had been discussions about allowing Denham a stand-alone vote on his bill but no decision had been made.​

Every American Citizen should have to serve in the military to get voting privileges.

If you're not willing to serve and defend this Country you shouldn't have the PRIVILEGE of voting.

OH! And only Citizens should be allowed to serve in the United States Military Service.

Not sure I would go that far. But if you want to run for office it should be a requirement.

The Pentagon already lets illegals join the military and after honorable service citizenship is awarded, it is an old tactic used by the Roman auxiliary corps to gain the benefits of Roman citizenship.......

In the movie, "Gangs Of New York" they were drafting the Irish because they were fighting a war and were running out of native-borne. Today they're processing native-borne Americans out by the thousands, and then proposing to enlist illegals. Never mind the fact that those Irismen were legal immigrants....

I don't that's quite right. They allow legals to enlist for one enlistment. Then if they become citizens they can reenlist.

Because the Roman military no longer had any loyalty to Rome. They were there for the pay and for the benefits of Roman citizenship.

30,000 ethnic Goths serving in the Roman military joined Alaric in the sack of Rome.
