Shouldn't we at least require Illegals to serve 4 years in the Armed Services before giving them citizenship?
Answer:
I've been saying that for some time now. Even two years would do it. They are illegals and they should have a penalty. In the military, they could earn the money it takes to get them their citizenship.
I think Rome tried that whole mercenary army thing. How'd that work out for them?
right !
I was Germany´s best graduate in renewable energies, came here and discovered that I can´t work for EPA or DOE without citizenship...
I could nevertheless have worked 400% under my qualification as cannon fooder in Iraq... right... of course...
Bye I took my wife to Europe instead !
I agree with the learning English part. I don't think you need to be in the military to show that your country is important to you.
Some people are pacifists and don't want to touch a gun which is understandable. That needs to be respected. Now if they do want to serve in the military, sure why not.
Edit: People like you make me sick Redneck Woman.
Force people to serve in the military and then say that this is the land of the free.
I would love to see how many Republicans still would support the troops if the military was made up of illegal immigrants...learning English of course.
No, wont be faithful pluse u'll have a lot of illegal ppl that would want to take the chance .
The United States is a professional army. You do not have to be a citizen of the United States to serve in the Armed Forces.
HA! The military would be too much work for em. However, that would be a good way to get them to flee back to Mexico!
Cool!
Do you have another bright idea?
Why should we reward them? No, they need to be deported.
no, we should just quit paying to be WorldCop-tm
and enforce existing law with respect to illegals
Don't you think that would be a wasted 4 years? Most of them would probably have to learn passable English. A lot of the equipment is too technoligically advanced for most of them (note: I've said most, not all).
I have no problem, if this immigration bill passes (hopefully not) that maybe some concession be given to qualified illegal aliens who which to serve in the military.
No. 4 years is too long. That is one of the reasons that people come illegally is because they don't have time to wait years and years. And what do you mean learn English of course? Why of course? English is not the official language. There is no official language but if there was, it would be Spanish.
your are talking about criminals who ran from their home countries and didn't put up a fight there, they won't fight for here either, just like they would rather pay a coyote than use that money to better themselves or move to a better part of their country, all they know is to run and break the law!
NO! that's absurd.
Well on the other hand if US citizenship was the option and bypassing Permanent Residence. thus allowing them to vote in the near future instead of waiting the required amount of time. Why not. As long as its optional.
yes. if they want to be here so bad. i see no reason why they can't do it.
My draft board would have never lost one person's address much less than 12 million.
YES someone agrees with me,it shouldn't just be OK to come here and not expect to do all the things Americans do to defend our country.It should be mandatory!!If they want to be American citizens lets see some commitment on their part.Why should they just come here and we die for them too?No one is forcing them to come and I am not against it per sy but they also need to have loyalty to this country.Not just take the goods and services and send their money back home.I do have a solution for the border crossings,every man above the age 18 will have mandatory service before finding a job or housing,every women will learn English immediately and teach their children while looking for jobs and housing.No services to them until its been documented they have lived and worked here for at least 2 yearsThey should be able to send only one fourth of their money out of the country.Believe this is not hard but it sure would change things alot.In fact it would stop the problem cold.Or slow it down tremendously I know i'm gonna get slammed for this answer,but think of all the single mothers out there some who work 3 jobs while taking of their home and children,some who work 2 jobs while attending school and SOME who do nothing but sit and get fat off the goodness of ALL taxpayers so lets put our symphony where it will do most good,they aren't getting extra benefits nowhere.
After watching Miss USA get booed in Mexico City at the Miss Universe Pageant I don't think they would like fighting for the US very much.
