Back in the early 60's my BIL, who was from Honduras and a doctor in residency was having a problem renewing his worker visa. So in order to circumvent his having to leave the country when the visa expired, he tried to enlist in the Army as a doctor. They never called him and his Visa was ultimately approved and the rest is history........
Every person here is an ‘immigrant’ except American Indians... I’m thankful for legal immigrants.
The debate here is ‘should the corrupt parts of our military be allowed to trade citizenship for mercenaries’ when there are lots of Americans ready and willing to serve. My answer is ‘no’...
Every garbage ‘elite’ in DC wants to give away our dollars and citizenship in exchange for speaker’s fees, book deals, and having their butts kissed when they’re abroad.
It’s disgusting.
(This is not a condemnation of people who want to live here in the United States...about 80% of the people on this planet would choose to live here if they could get here legally - or sometimes illegally - And within that 80% are millions of people who would make wonderful productive citizens...)
