Illegal-Immigrant Soldiers Won’t Fix Our Military-Recruiting Crisis

Senator Durbin’s proposal would hinder good order and discipline, strain resources, and detract from essential training for national-security preparedness.

Two of the many problems facing America today are an out-of-control immigration crisis and a failure of military-service branches to meet their recruiting targets. In recent remarks on the Senate floor, Senator Dick Durbin (D., Ill) outlined a ridiculous proposal to kill these two birds with one stone:

We have 780,000 DACA recipients . . . many of whom want to serve the country where they grew up. But there’s an obstacle — Congress. We have not given them a pathway to citizenship. This should be a pathway. You ought to open up your opportunities, across the board in the military, to Dreamers and to DACA recipients, who really want to serve this country.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

But if Gen. Davis makes them all high-ranking officers, he can achieve his dream of making all white officers junior to everyone else. :tongue2:
