According to the American Military News, "U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) is spearheading an initiative to address recruitment shortfalls within the U.S. military by expanding the eligibility for non-citizens to serve."
According to Stars and Stripes, the proposed legislation, labeled the Enlist Act, is intended to bolster the military’s ability to meet it’s manpower requirements by increasing the number of eligible recruits in the United States.
“Allowing highly qualified, long-time residents of our great nation the opportunity to serve the country they’ve come to love is a commonsense way to give the services better access to talented potential recruits and improve our military’s readiness in the process,” Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran and former Army Black Hawk pilot, stated.
If passed, the legislation would open the military’s doors to individuals who have resided in the U.S. for a minimum of five years. This includes those protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, persons with temporary protected status and those who hold approved petitions for immigrant visas.
As an added bonus, they won't feel any particular loyalty or sympathy to American citizens, making the more reliable should they be needed to crush any uprising, something long recognized and exploited by tyrants. And it can work well for those tyrants right up to the point that the foreign forces realize they no longer need the tyrant.
Let's let Tammy be guarded only by illegals and see how that works out for her.
