“Trump didn’t do too well with the “undocumented immigrant” entering the military.”

Trump did just fine with it. There has been a military program like that around for years. The ones I have been familiar with are Phillipino’s. After their military service they got citizenship.

The military does not accept illegal aliens. There is a program to bring in green card holders who can use their service to expedite citizenship.

I spent 8 years as a naval officer. I know how the Filipino program worked. They were brought in as stewards, but many were able to migrate to other specialties. We had a special treaty with the Philippines on this program that was ended in 1992.

Navy to Stop Recruiting Filipino Nationals : Defense: The end of the military base agreement with the Philippines will terminate the nearly century-old program.

Filipinos were the only foreign nationals allowed to enlist in the U.S. armed forces without first immigrating to this country. And the Navy was the only military branch they could join.
