208 Republicans just voted to block immigrants who served in the US military from becoming Americans

We have a President who has continually said the border is secure it’s pretty hard to deal with a problem when you won’t even acknowledged the problem exist.

If anyone knows it's a problem Biden does and he's dealing with the situation. Not just bad-mouthing it and doing nothing about it.

Criminals?
Being undocumented is a misdemeanor.

Being undocumented is a misdemeanor.

so?

a misdemeanor is not a violation of the law?

a crime?

Looks like another Democrat ploy to make Republicans look bad.
All we need is a bunch of people trying to join the military as a shortcut to citizenry.

These republicans are pigs to renege after the fact. Was Cadet Bone Spurs leading the betrayal?

a crime?

Speeding 5 mph over the limit, and parking violations are misdemeanors as well.

So everyone who's ever gotten a parking ticket is a criminal in your eyes. No, they just made a mistake. People are only human.

The Military should not have courted new Military personnel from the Illegal & recently arrived Foreigners communities over last 35 years

They don't. And, the people who are accepted for enlistment go through a vetting process to make sure they are eligible and fit to serve.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Now I’m wondering if the military knowingly enlists illegal aliens?

They don't. There is a LOT of paperwork that a person must fill out in order to enlist, and those things are looked at to make sure the person is eligible to serve. No, the military doesn't enlist illegal aliens, knowingly or otherwise.

If a recruiter knowingly TRIED to enlist someone who was ineligible, they would be found out at MEPS, and if not there, in boot camp. And, the recruiter in question would receive disciplinary action from the military and removed from recruiting. There would also be questions asked of their station head, as well as the district.

how is 'Cadet Bone Spurs' any worse than the 'I can't enlist because I have asthma' high school jock we have now?


(psst, they have an equal amount of deferments)

are those not crimes?

Interestingly enough, there were a few people who tried to enlist while I was running the MEPS in Amarillo, and they were all disqualified by the doctors. A person with asthma as a current condition will not be accepted for enlistment. If a person had asthma that they had treated and had overcome, there is a timeline, as well as a LOT of requirements that must be met and certified by a doctor (one of them being no asthma attacks for at least 3 years prior to enlistment). I remember a parent who came to MEPS to protest their child being refused with the excuse that they had participated in HS athletics even in spite of having it. Their kid was still denied enlistment, and told what requirements (as well as the timeline) that had to be met before they could enlist.

In most cases heel spurs don't cause any significant pain or disability. In fact, they often go completely unnoticed. Because of this, they are a rare excuse for military deferment or disqualification. Asthma can be severe and is a common cause of military deferment or disqualification.

By "vaccine mandate" I was referring to the COVID vaccine.

I said all vaccines are mandatory in the military.
It’s not like Biden made some sort of special rule for Covid.

 

[Stann]

are those not crimes?

When I got my parking ticket the officer said it was a violation. He never said it was a crime.

Also,I looked up synonyms for violation, it never mentioned crime. The synonyms listed were contravention or breach.

Republicans don't hate America, they just hate the people serving in uniform protecting America

Most ARE American. Central American, South American...OH sorry.
Only one Ameriika-stan. Ol #1

Anything that affects military preparedness can be mandated by military law. You can't be prepared if half your unit is out sick.

Immigration has been a problem for at least 20 years. Obviously what we had in place was not working. This sounds like many progressive steps to undo the crisis at the border. When trump was President he reduced legal immigration and basically shut down the immigration courts by not funding them. That made matters worse, creating a huge backlog in immigration and the numbers greatly increased at the border. He didn't propose any real solutions for the situation. At least now we have a president that's trying to deal with the situation.

I keep hearing people making this claim with no proof that it ever happened. I don't recall any of that happening. Got a

Really? What is he doing other than having the CBP posting "Welcome to America!" signs?
