As the debate over immigration rages in Washington DC, a new controversy has broken out over a specific group of undocumented immigrants who broadly considered to be the most sympathetic subset of the over 11 million people who are in the United States illegally: those who qualify for the DREAM Act (which means they came to the United States illegally as children, graduated from high school and lived in the United States continuously for years) who volunteer to serve in the military. The controversy over a path to citizenship for this small group shows how bitterly opposed to immigration reform some House Republicans are.
no greater expression of patriotism and loyalty to country then risking your life in defense of it, those who oppose are mostly republicans who never served anything but big business, yet those who have are not good enough but virtue of their service to be granted citizenship that my friends shows the intention to never entertaining seriously real comprehensive immigration, they know with the hate they have exhibited to Hispanics they will become Progressive voters and their xchance become even slimmer of ever winning a nat'l election.
News of the maneuver though sparked an immediate outcry from conservative immigration hawks within the GOP. Rep. Steve King raged that this would allow illegals to “smuggle themselves into the military.” Instead, in King’s opinion, “As soon as they raise their hand and say ‘I’m unlawfully present in the United States,’ we’re not going take your oath into the military, but we’re going to take your deposition and we have a bus for you to Tijuana. That’s the law.”
King’s views towards the bill were shared by Alabama Republican Mo Brooks, who had his own worries about the loyalties of those undocumented immigrants who might join the military “How do you ensure that illegal aliens are loyal to America and not another country? Is it wise to entrust illegal aliens with questionable loyalties with America’s military secrets and weapons, including weapons of mass destruction?”more fear mongering with a double edged blade they want to instill fear in the bigots that propagate their message and also their own fear of being relegated to obscurity because of their "VALUES" now called "PRINCIPLES".
