In the olden days, an illegal immigrant could slip into the country, join the military, serve honorably, and be discharged as a US Citizen.

That has changed since then.

“...the GOP did what the Dems do. They wanted the bill to pass but also wanted to look like they opposed it,...”

So sad. That generation of men felt it instinctively. They had lived too intensively for too many years to fall back to sleep. My generation never woke up.

I served with illegal immigrants in the Army in 66-67. They were motivated by their anti-communist, anti-Castro ideology. But they were also promised that an honorable discharge would get them a path to citizenship.

Illegals in the military as a path to citizenship had existed ever since the status of illegal immigrant was created in the 1920s.

So these people who come into our country in violation of our laws, don’t share our culture or values and in too many cases actively campaign for secession/conquest - yeah, let’s teach these people how to fight.

Good idea Congress. :)

Virtually all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing in the United States, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. The law says men must register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday.

From https://www.sss.gov/Registration/Why-Register

The Federal Government, controlled by the Uniparty, is the enemy. The States must protect themselves and their people.

We have a foreign exchange student in the disgraced White Hut.

I ended up in the emergency room with high blood pressure after the 2012 stolen election. I told my husband (a legal immigrant and now a US citizen) that my country was done. He said, ‘ it will be all right’. I’m still waiting for it to ‘be all right’.

Just back from a graduation party where I had a longish discussion with a fifty-something nephew - even in his relatively short lifespan (compared to mine at seventy plus) he was lamenting the way he’s seen the country deteriorate - we ended up agreeing that the Great Experiment has pretty much failed - people as a group are too dumb and/or emotionally stunted to rule themselves......

We are allowing non-citizens to join the military? It’s all over; we’re done.
