They are easy targets for chump to say he is reducing the migrant population. Last time he was in power he had hardly an impact on illegal immigrants so targetted those applying legally because they were an easy target.

Might be possible to sue successfully to breach of contract.

If our troops were in an active war, they would be sending these recruits to the front line, not discharging them.

JFC. There’s no end to this shit.

But sure, bring in a bunch of white “apartheid refugees”, let them jump
the lines, give them protected status, a path to citizenship and relocation assistance and ask NOTHING from them in return.

They are going to have to do a lawsuit for every single person and keep at it. It's so stupid. I hate this so much.

If they enlisted, they have an enlistment contract.
Did someone say class action?

Yes let's tell more recruit possibilities that they're not welcome. And yet recruiters are complaining about fewer recruits.

They’ve been doing this for years!

It wasn’t a trick. Trump reneged on the deal, cuz he’s a racist.

I worked for the DoD for years and knew many people who went through that program and gained citizenship. They were all awesome military members. To now take that away is criminal.

Does Trump seriously have to destroy everything in our lives?

I’m a veteran who learned the hard way that empire gives no shit about any of us other than what they may extract from us.

Thanks for posting this, it needed to be said, and you found the words I have been searching for. 💕

The worst is you have to have legal status to enlist. These are legal residents serving for an expedited path to citizenship. True commitment to becoming Americans.

Trump deported a whole bunch of them who had already served during his last administration.

Will be scrambling for enlisters when they realize nimbers fall short and more are needed.

And people wonder why immigrants like dreamers don't just become citizens. This was one of the only ways for them to do that, short of leaving the country (go where?) and apply from outside the U.S. Disgraceful administration.

And even more disgusting how many people fall for it and betray their fam in the so-called "third world." They promised you (not even citizenship) a path to citizenship if you'll join their imperial army and go murder, genocide and ethnically cleanse Black and Brown people in nonwestern countries.

Yes. We have been disgusting since the very beginning. Anyone who doesn't know that needs to read American history.

I would like to add to this thread that I'm an actual Leftist (socialist and communist), and I fucking hate the red maga fascists, and the blue maga genocidal democrats. I also fucking hate liberals. So please, if you're a liberal who liked this thread, don't follow me. You won't like my content. 🙂

I’m reminded of the fable of the scorpion and the frog
