I'm not comfortable with the idea of giving immigrants jobs in the US military. This is just more immigrants taking jobs away from Americans. Secondly, many immigrants don't have an ounce of respect or loyalty for the USA. Many of them are a risk in US military uniform. This is especially true if they are enlisted just to gain citizenship for themselves.
Of course you're not comfortable with the idea of giving immigrants jobs in the US military.
But then again....................you really don't understand the military. You aren't GIVEN a job, you have to QUALIFY for it. I was a Classifier in the U.S. Navy from 1999 until 2002 (when I retired) and I never gave a job to someone who didn't have the test scores, as well as the requirements to get the job. Why? Because if I did, they would be disqualified as soon as they hit boot camp and their scores and record were checked.
If it's is just more immigrants taking jobs away from Americans, then can you tell me why it is that only 1 percent of the American population is willing to serve in the military?
And speaking of which.......................you stated that those same immigrants who enlisted don't have any loyalty or respect for the USA. Have you ever served? Have you ever been on the front lines? Have you ever been alongside an immigrant who enlisted in a war zone?
I have. Since 1982, and have served with them alongside me until 2002. Yeah.............a lot of them are in it for themselves, because they are hoping that if they can serve a minimum of 5 years (what it was for immigrants while I was serving) they can get citizenship.
How selfish is it to want to gain something for yourself if you're willing to put you ass on the line for others?
Most people who currently ARE U.S. citizens are not willing to serve in the military. Somehow, they think that job is "below" them because they don't get a whole lot of money, nor do they think they should have to put their asses on the line.
Quick question sportcheck...................how many years have YOU served?
