>U.S. Army recruiters have abruptly canceled enlistment contracts for hundreds of foreign-born military recruits since last week, upending their lives and potentially exposing many to deportation, according to several affected recruits and a retired Army officer and former Pentagon official familiar with their situation.
>Many of these enlistees have waited years to join a troubled immigration recruitment program designed to attract highly skilled immigrants into the service in exchange for fast-track citizenship.
>Now recruits and experts say that recruiters are shedding their contracts to free themselves from an onerous enlistment process, which includes extensive background investigations, to focus on individuals who can more quickly enlist and thus satisfy strict recruitment targets.
Fake news. The word they leave out is "illegal". What a cohencidence.
Eli Murphy
Now who is going to fuck up my paycheck in Finance?
OP, were you pretending the majority of these were going to be combat arms personnel?
Andrew Hill
What's the tl;dr on this?
Gavin Ward
>OP, were you pretending the majority of these were going to be combat arms personnel? I'm asking a question, this should be the place to find answers. I thought we were short on recruits though.
Samuel Reyes
Bingo.
Eli Reyes
So where's the story? The military doesn't let in criminals, and illegal immigration is a criminal offense. Did you want a special exemption for one certain type of crime because muh feels? Too fucking bad.
Adrian Smith
Uncertainty of immigration laws. Too much work to enlist illegals. Sticking with citizen enlistment
Noah Allen
I'm a former enlisted.
>enlisted >highly skilled recruits. pick one
anyone trying to immigrate and become a citizen in the USA and highly skilled, would have found a civilian employer to sponsor a work visa.
Xavier Barnes
If I were an illegal fucktard, I would certainly take infiltrating a country more seriously if I knew not only I could use a social program to remain there, but could actually serve in that countries military and receive life long benefits afterwards.
Liam Barnes
Oh fuck, I'm MAVNI, currently waiting for BCT.
Time to bring this up to my recruiter.

But just illegals, but most immigrants have to undergo extensive background checks and are getting caught up in this.

Jonathan Hall
No we aren't asshole. We've been force shaping for years.
Robert Perry
I don't know, OP...try reading the article?
Adrian Martin
the trick here is............MAVNI only hires legal immigrants, but they also hires DACA.
Since DACA is outlawed now, these daca r
Leo Reyes
haha, many are college grad who is NOT GOOD ENOUGH for a work visa. But i believe they only cares about the Language skills and medical skills.
Jayden Gonzalez
Judging by the structure and grammar of your response, I wouldn't hire you to babysit a rock.
Tyler Reyes
my recruiter and he told me that the pool was expanded to DACA but only if they are a licensed healthcare professional; an impossible situation for them. Or speak a language that the DoD needs, and Spanish is ineligible.
Austin Lopez
I support this decision.
They have to go back.
Ian Foster
agree, if you hire mercenary, you don;t hire them to cook food and drive trucks, you hire those dead eye killer MOFOs to fill the front line.
This is why the Romans brought auxiliaries on campaign.
Gabriel Lee
Wut?

Jose Harris
You are either retarded or baiting me, bitch?
Adam Campbell
what the sam-fuck is fuckin' this
James Gonzalez
Even though this article doesn't mention the word "illegals" this seems to be about illegal immigrants that came out of the shadows / out of hiding to join some sort of Army program that would allow them to gain citizenship.
Josiah Murphy
I noticed that recently a lot of outlets are reluctant to use the term illegal immigrant. Its rather strange, isn't it?
Evan Cox
>mass replying without actually mass replying the perfect shitpost
Jose Johnson
Because it's a loaded term that causes a gut reaction with too many people.
Zachary Peterson
>designed to attract highly skilled immigrants into the service > highly skilled [doubt]
Adrian Green
I thought you needed at least green card to enlist. This is ridiculous, how desperate do you need to be to enlist illegals. Was that Obama too?
Dylan Perez
How do you run a background check on "undocumented" immigrants for security clearances and such?
Jayden Powell
Probably the same way they do it for every other applicant. Also if you're an asylum seeker or refugee, you've already been extensively scrutinized.
Bentley Hughes
i'm so disappointed this isn't a real pic
Daniel Parker
>I thought you needed at least green card to enlist. See that makes no sense to me. What the fuck do I care about people willing to die for me's status?
It's not like we don't have the occasional American foreign legion thread here anyway.
Justin Thompson
> people willing to die for me I'm pretty sure that's a figure of speech and not why they enlist though. If you want a Foreign Legion, set one up instead of letting anyone join regardless of their immigration status, that's just decadent af imo.
Brandon Brown
You do and this is why the whole 'some immigrants face deportation" story makes no sense.
Bentley Sanders
no its a clear term that avoids confusion between actual legal immigrants and someone who has entered the country illegally.
Mason Morris
most likely the second one if you ever see the older modeling things she did it looked exactly like a porn, someone probably just edited out the actual porn parts and is sitting on it for a while as blackmail or something
Cameron Johnson
>What the fuck do I care about people willing to die for me's status? To die for me? I'm not in Afghanistan, nor are any of my interests. I'm also not in Syria, Korea, Japan, Germany, or any of the other places where the government keeps its soldiers. It's none of my business who runs Helmand Province, and I don't think it's a particularly good use of my tax dollars to make the world safe for Hyundai, Samsung, and POSCO to drive General Motors, RCA, and National Steel into bankruptcy. In short, I'm not the government, and I don't see where the government's hired guns amount to "people willing to die for me".
So... no.
Justin Collins
Not all illegal immigrants entered the country illegally. In fact most don't IIRC.
Zachary Brown
Yes you are, you're in all those places. The world is far more connected than you would have us believe.
Noninterventionism != isolationism. Someone once said about Ron Paul that calling him an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come on your property and break your windows. Pretty much. I'm perfectly willing to pay fair market prices for the things I want from people in other countries - I don't need to put my boot on their neck in some damn fool crusade to make Afghanistan run like Connecticut with sand. Even Bin Laden said that precisely nobody over in that part of the world is going to *not* sell America oil - the 1973 embargo was a massive fail and, as he put it, "it's not like we're going to drink it".
So please GTFO with the "muh troops" bullshit.

>old meme >doesnt know how to reply school started like 2 months ago didn't it? wtf why are summerfags still here
Evan Bennett
But the article is about the US Army. It's like they threw together this article without finding an appriopfiate photo and have to find something close-ish on file.
Gavin Lopez
>Wow, it's like the WaPo is lazy leftist trash that doesn't know or are about the military. maybe you should try reading
Parker Rodriguez
oh yes, people who overstay their visas, that doesn't change the fact that they are here illegally. I can understand illegal alien being a bit too hard but illegal immigrant is literally what they are, even disregarding that it has its origin as the politically correct term for illegal alien.
Angel Brown
You hire "auxilary" to do the job that normal citizen soldiers don't want to do.....Which is......water dog specialist.

SEND THEM ALL RIGHT BACK.
Daniel Moore

Robert Miller
illegals finally getting what they deserve. >but das racist if you are a LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN, then you have nothing to worry about, I don't care what color or region you're from, if you want to be a US citizen you gotta either be born here or go through the immigration/citizenship process like everyone else.
Luis Jackson
Far too often those that joined the Army to become naturalized citizens bring in their birth country's leftist communist ideologies and openly speak poorly of our President Donald J. Trump. They didn't join with a sense of duty or anything higher than a paycheck and often show little regard to our nation's history. While I would rather not hold anti immigrant sentiments and anti Semitic thoughts in my mind which never festers to actual prejudice, the god damn International Jews keep me from doing so.
Jaxson Parker
An immigrant enlisting in order to gain citizenship is not the same as a Mexican walking across the border illegally you racist faggot Sup Forums

It covers the military. This isn't really a political question, unless you're shallow enough to think that anything to do with immigrants is somehow political. This is about enlistments and shitty recruiters.
Carter Allen
Legal immigrants are not the same as illegals, saying they are is a huge fuck you to anyone that followed the rules. Illegals shouldn't be allowed to serve or vote or collect benefits until they've sorted out their status, how can that be too much to ask?
Noah Perry
>until they've sorted out their status, how can that be too much to ask? Because it's practically impossible and making it possible is politically radioactive.
Mason Wood
sauce? all I've seen of Claire is the swimsuit spin stuff from the the swimsuit sales

exactly, spics get a pass on breaking a law so I want a pass, too. maybe the law/pass can be the one about killing illegals....
Cooper Hughes
How would ILLEGALS get in the military in the first place? Are we talking about enlisted DACA?
And if so, allow me to scoff at "highly skilled immigrants" when we're not allowing Europeans to collaborate in aerospace or defense because MUH ITAR.

Great. Now r/communism is here too. Fuck off nigger, we're full of libertarians and we're going to stay that way you leftist trash.
Ryder Hall
Honestly, I feel they should pay back taxes on all the money we spent on them and make them conditional residents, on the condition they commit no crimes. It's practically impossible to deport 11 million people without getting into some legal kerfuffle and shit like that.
Jackson Thomas
Most of them do pay taxes - the IRS has a system set up just for this sort of situation so they can pay taxes without fear of deportation.
Taxman don't give a fuck about nothing but being paid.
Camden Murphy
Beaner wants papers so he works four years in the chow hall. Yeah no, also I don't give a fuck if they were fighting and dying, we don't need any more beaners in this country, legal or not.

Isaac Taylor
Good. Fuck these criminals who violate our border laws. Fuck ooen-borders dumbshit leftists. Fuck spics and niggers.
Jaxson Butler
They should get their citizenship first. I personally think that every US citizen between 18-30 should serve at least 3 years of active military service. The volunteer service is no longer adequate and to be honest we should not be having people from other countries that are not US citizens serving in our military. There are a lot of benefits to mandatory service if a person just thinks with an open mind.
Ryder Baker
I know I'm going into the NAVY after college
Robert Powell
> every US citizen between 18-30 should serve Your standards would have to be incredibly low, a modern army can't operate with so many borderline retards and/or people that don't want to be there. As much as I like the Starship Trooper memes, it's just not feasible.
