Should any "amnesty" include military service in Iraq?
Answer:
NO AMNESTY ever
BUILD THE WALL
DEPORT THEM ALL
Why don't we quit throwing our problems on illegals? Why don't you go help out overseas?
Because our troops dont want illegals fighting in a war,hell we dont want them in America can you relate?????????????/They are incompetant,free loaders,they want a free ride there like they do here in America.We have Mexican and Latinos in our military,they are legal and they fight for America,Illegals are not wanted anywhere.Even the Mexicans and Latinos fighting for USA dont want illegals.
Well military service has always been the fast track to citizenship, it shows loyalty to the United States. Forget illegals, whom should, you have so many anti US people in our own population that they should be drafted first !
That's a dumb idea. It's conscription and discrimination built into one. Let people who want to serve make that decision, don't force anyone to for whatever reason. BTW: the marines contain more Latin Americans than any other majority, so it looks they are choosing to do something.
i don't mind the idea of requiring public service in order to get amnesty or citizenship. Honestly, if those who wanted to become Americans were given a clear-cut path to citizenship, I think more than 80% of them would sign up quickly. The quagmire of an immigration policy that our nation operates under is a significant contributor to any illegal immigration problem we have. (I witnessed the immigration process first-hand through a family friend who immigrated from Slovakia. It was unbelievable the amount of hoops an employed, hard-working immigrant who hasn't broken a law in her life had to jump through in order to become a citizen.)
However, there are potential problems with your suggestion that you may want to consider:
- I'm not sure that we want to turn our military into a haven for anyone seeking citizenship. Our volunteer force is effective because people know what they're getting into & yet join anyway. There are some who only join in order to get help paying for college, but I think it's safe to say most join the military because they want to be in the military. Were we to vastly increase the size of our ground troop forces (who would have to be paid & given room and board) with lots of immigrants who might not speak English well & who *might* not have the morale or patriotism of volunteer soldiers, I'm not sure we wouldn't mess things up for the military (someone with military experience could speak to this better than I);
- There has already been criticisms of our current military being stocked with young people from poor families who go off to fight wars started/caused by the wealthy and powerful. I'm guessing that throwing hundreds of thousands of destitute immigrants on the front lines, each with a rifle, a pair of boots and some MREs, wouldn't improve that situation.
But I appreciate your outside-the-box thinking. ;) I probably don't agree with you regarding the nature of our immigration "problem", but I see that you're looking for solutions other than "build a wall & throw the immigrants over it", an illogical and unethical argument that we see all too often around here. I appreciate your effort at actually thinking about this issue rather than lashing out at it like some tr0lls around here do.
