Democrats Propose Solving Their Military Recruitment Crisis With Illegal Aliens

The recruitment crisis is a problem of the left’s making, and now the same left is using the crisis as justification for weakening the military

Americans have just witnessed another historic moment: not only a new record for the most single-day border arrests ever made; or male, military-aged Chinese nationals illegally entering the country through California and joining the espionage nodes known as Confucius Institutes and a Chinese Communist police station in New York City — but a proposal for these illegal aliens to join the military.

The proposal last week was made not by some Twitter screecher or Ibram X. Kendi but by sitting Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin who, in a speech on the Senate floor, said:

Do you know what the recruiting numbers are at the Army, Navy, and the Air Force? They can’t reach their quotas each month. They can’t find enough people to join our military forces. And there are those who are undocumented who want the chance to serve and risk their lives for this country. Should we give them a chance? I think we should.

The military recruitment lows are not news. Funnily enough, that is what happens when you make it a point to drive away the people most likely to enlist and serve. There was Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s stand-down order to allow each branch “to discuss the threat posed by white supremacy and similar extremism.” And since “white supremacy” has become just another sponge term to signify positions that oppose the plans of the left, a routing out of white supremacy meant the removal of personnel with political beliefs anathema to the Democrat regime.

There was the second purge, this time of personnel who refused to take the Covid “vaccine.” There was the gayification of the military, which saw everything from recruitment ads to making so-called transitioning soldiers undeployable for almost a year. There was the killing of meritocracy for the sake of DEI baloney. And then there was the humiliation of the Afghanistan retreat (with the addition of financially punishing soldiers whose crime was following orders) and the tease that the whole thing might be repeated in Ukraine. When you tell people long enough that you don’t want them, eventually, they will get the message.

The recruitment shortage is a problem entirely of the left’s making, and now that the full consequences are in force, the same left is using the crisis as justification for not only weakening the military but also, potentially, attacking American citizens. —>READ MORE HERE

Top Senate Dem Favors Citizenship For Illegal Immigrants Through Military Service

A top Senate Democrat said on Monday that he believes illegal immigrants should have a path to U.S. citizenship by joining the military.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), who is also chairman of the Judiciary Committee, floated the idea during remarks on the Senate floor after he commented on GOP resistance to approving more aid to Ukraine without comprehensive border security reforms.

“What troubles me about the debate now about the southern border is that it is one-half of the immigration equation,” Durbin said. “Yes, we need order at the border. Yes, we need to have changes in the laws that reflect the reality of the overwhelming numbers from all over the world who are coming to our shores and our border.”

“But there’s also an incredible demand for legal immigration into this country, even now,” Durbin continued. He then referenced legislation offered by his fellow lawmaker from Illinois, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), to ensure immigrant service members get assistance to obtain U.S. citizenship and veterans’ benefits. —>READ MORE HERE
