Enlist and become a citizen!

How crazy is this? Part of the provisions of the The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, would give immediate legal status and eventually full citizenship for illegal immigrants who enlist in our military. You can read more about it here.

It says that at least 750,000 illegal immigrants would be eligible for this "program" and it would be great for our military. Well, I'm sure it would! We need to build up with so many of our soldiers dead and wounded from this Iraq "War."

I watched an "expert" on MSNBC this morning and was floored when he said that our military would only take the "brightest and the best" of the illegals just like they do right now. Huh? Did this guy miss Fahrenheit 9/11? HELLO!! While it isn't true for everyone, our military is made up of many young men and women who see it as their only way to an education and a way out. Why are recruiters so busy in low income areas? If you're going to college, the recruiters don't call, but they're only going to take the "best and brightest" of the immigrants? Sure.
