As do I, but not without strings attached. My biggest requirement—no dual citizenship! You must renounce your citizenship with your native land as part of the deal.

IS THIS STORY A JOKE?

WHAT THE HELL ARE FOREIGNERS WHO SNEAK INTO THE USA DOING IN OUR MILITARY?

I THOUGHT THOSE WERE CALLED “SPIES.”

HAS PERRY LOST HIS MIND?

"How are illegal immigrants getting into the military in the first place?"

Good question. And, the question itself should result in an investigation as to how it's happening.

Sorry about that, yes you did say that.

Personally I feel there are so many people far more deserving than those who illegally invaded our country in the first place.

That’s one frightening image, Liz!
I’m relieved to see your posts because lately it seemed like there was nothing but Perry cheerleaders left.

The story is not a joke but it is kind of sad. Perry supporters will defend even this proving that Slick-Rick can say or do anything and they will still defend him.

Every candidate needs to be vetted. Slick-Rick's being vetted and he's stinking more every day.

If you swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, you have some explaining to do if you think Article 1 Section 8 of that Constitution is optional.

I'm not sure what Article 1 Section 8 has to do with you living in your mom's basement, but I did review it. So what? I'll go one step further. If I were king for a day, you would not be a citizen of the US...UNTIL you serve in the military. If you don't have the cahones to defend the US, you have no vote......

Look stupid....read the thread. This isn't something new, it's been around since I was in the military.....40 years or so ago....

"Once we secure the border, we can have a conversation about immigration reform in this country, but not until," he said.

The Juan McCain, presidential campaign position, pure and simple. And the position of many Republicans who try to have it both ways, but are really amnesty supporters without the political honesty to admit it.

No one should kid themselves about this double-talker on the illegal alien and border issues. And, of course, he says the border can be secured without a "ridiculous" fence.

Hello, my name is Juan. I have just come up from Mexico to your country. I have no skills, but I am strong and young. If you let me enter your armed forces, teach me discipline and your ways, I will fight for you. I ask only for citizenship, should I survive."

Bwahahaha! I served with illegal aliens in the Marine Corps and they were gangbanging POS that had absolutely no allegiance the US. Illegals join the military to use it as their own personal welfare program, the possibilty of getting killed in combat has no impact on their loytaly to Mexico.

Just ask Oscar Ortiz.

Holy shitte...you opened the door for the knee jerk idiot Perry basher by posting that. What he said was that he was not opposed to folks earning their citizenship, which has been the case forever, by joining and serving in the military. Of course most FReepers have never served so they jump to conclusions and of course they are all experts on everything. Not a new notion....been around since 1961 for which I can attest!

So... you swore an oath to defend a document you haven't read, and now you propose a scheme that is totally offensive to it and the explicit principles that the nation was founded on. You are an oath breaker, a swearer of lies, and a traitor to the United States of America.

May you spend eternity encased in ice next to your spiritual kin Lucifer.

Wrong we have citizens out of work who cannot get in because of a stupid teenage prank. But ILLEGALS get a free pass. Why because they are minorities?

Smacks of England using Hessians during the Revolution.

Or barbarians in the Roman Army, so much so that by the fifth century, the Roman Army was no longer Roman.

I see. So according to....you....every Hispanic Marine is a gang banging Mexican that has no loyalty to the US. Thank you for the un-biased BS.....
