In a controversial turn of policy advocacy, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is now advocating for a bold and contentious plan as proposed by another Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL): allowing illegal immigrants to serve in the U.S. military as a pathway to citizenship.
In his recent address, highlighted the demand for legal immigration, suggesting that illegal immigrants who can pass physical and background tests should be allowed to serve in the military. In return for their honorable service, they would be granted U.S. citizenship.
Durbin’s rationale hinges on the military’s current recruitment struggles. He argues that there are illegal immigrants eager to serve

As if we all didn't see this cynical move coming 10 miles away. Tell me again why the "replacement theory" is just a silly Alex Jones nightmare. Oh, yeah, he's had a few bulls-eyes, too.
Senator Turban up to his old tricks again.
First obstacle is going to be that pesky background check. Then there's that mercenary-motive-taking-the-place-of-patriotic-service thing.. .just a handy little band of no-nothing soldaten for siccing on the American People.

Known criminals -- which is the very definition of "illegal aliens" -- should never be anywhere near automatic weapons and hand grenades!!!!!!
They cannot swear to protect and defend the US Constitution that they already spit on when they came to this country illegally!!!!!!

Absolutely not. We should not spend money on training people here illegally, have them take places in the forces, only to have them split when the shtf. No.

Yeah and think what harm the hidden and closet terrorists can do from within. A VERY stupid idea. I don't doubt there are already some in our military already though.

Good luck with that. I had trouble getting a basic Secret clearance because I lived in the middle east for a couple years as a teen, away from any US interests. At least I was American and speak our language.
Are they sure these foreigners are gay enough for them?

Let's see how the Muslim illegals react when they have to take their first mandatory "woke" course on transgenders and gays.

I remember back in the late 1970's, early 1980's, while in the Air Force, in Europe, the Army had units that were predominately Mexican since recruiting was down. It was alleged recruiters were pulling in illegals to fill recruiting quotas. What's old is new I guess. Hope everyone on active duty can Se Habla.

Why don't we just make one of them President and be done with it? Oh wait, we already had a kenyan and he behaved as predicted. If George Washington and the Continental Army knew what their sacrifices would produce here a mere few hundred years later, would any of them have bothered to fight the British?

Shades of Ancient Rome, when they started recruiting people from across the Rhine to make up for Roman citizens who would not join.

Didn't Rome try this? Think it led to their downfall. The definition of decadence is an unwillingness to defend oneself. Our enemies like to call us decadent. They might be right.

#4, it's barely a misdemeanor, so not too illegal for most.
Better to simply put them all in the back of the current line of those who've applied to become citizens.
Have them all pass the background checks, pay a filing fee (say $3000-5000 each) and wait like everyone else until their turn is reached.
After all, you area NEVER going to be able to physically deport all of them, but you can do it electronically with above option.

Hey Dick:
Do you think that these illegal alien invaders who didn’t have the guts to stay in their own nations and fight to make them free for themselves and their extended families, are going to want to join the U.S. Military to fight and die for you globalist warmongering leftist elitists? Especially when you already give them free everything just for sneaking in to the country.

The Democrats will do anything they can to transform unlimited numbers of poor and uneducated illegal aliens into U.S. citizens, as the Democrats believe that the vast majority will become leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters in the years ahead. Enlisting illegal aliens into the U.S. Armed Forces, that the Democrats themselves would never join, is seen by the Democrats as a way to do that. In that respect, why not hire illegal aliens as US immigration officers and as U.S. border patrol agents as all illegal aliens speak foreign languages that is a requirement for those U.S. Government jobs.
