None of you have posted any links. I have.. They can’t get the accurate number and the immigrants under this system have had their basic trainings delayed. From my linked article btw.
Try harder conservatives.

From the article above. Try harder.
"It is unclear how many of those 40 enlistees were enlisted in the Army through its special recruitment program that promises a path to citizenship in exchange for service."

RE: Army is discharging immigrant recruits who were promised citizenship.
Then there's also the fact that the program was designed to get linguists of 44 specific languages and medical specialists into the military. Per my son the US Army is currently well over 110% capacity of allotted slots for the MOS (military occupational specialty) 68W (combat medics) which is one of the reasons he's getting out. When you are over staffed it creates a backlog in the training, promotion, and transfer processes. If they are thinning the herd of a specific MOS it only makes sense that the thinning starts with non-citizens.

RE: Army is discharging immigrant recruits who were promised citizenship.
If you serve a hitch and get an honorable discharge, you should get citizenship. I've never understood why this isn't the rule, dating back to dealing with Filipino stewards in the Navy.
If you are RIFd for needs of the military, that should qualify you.

It was a needed program at the time. We were fighting in the Middle East and needed additional people who spoke and read certain languages to serve as interpreters, in intelligence, etc. and there was a real shortage of medical personnel. One of our EMS medics had served four years with the 82nd Airborne as just a grunt, joined the SC Guard as a grunt, but used his GI Bill to get his paramedic certification. After 9/11 he deployed once as a grunt, then re-enlisted in the regular army as a medic and served an additional eight years active duty.
Now, however, with ground combat winding down the needs aren't as crucial.

After having his post destroyed as a lie, he has slithered back into his safe space and we probably won't hear from him again for a while.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Scary how well this fits today’s America. Almost line by line but substitute Migrants for Jews.
He makes no counter-argument because you are tone deaf. There is no argument he could make to change that so why waste the breath on the likes of you, like I just did.
Fake news yet again. Don't you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself? Hell, I'm embarrassed for you. It would be comedic if it wasn't so sad.

RE: Army is discharging immigrant recruits who were promised citizenship.
HuffPost has an article that 19 parents have been deported without their kids still in detention hereand argues that they are under no obligation to reunite them.
What would Jesus think about this current crop of Republicans????
The most disgusting and vile act I can think of. Ripping families apart. Shame. shame.
PS I’m on my phone and the HuffPost is an app. I tried to share the article but as you can see I can’t. I didn’t read it on my safari web browser and the app won’t let me paste and copy. Just go to their websit if you want to read it. Somebody has to be the conscience of this GOP party. Zero compassion out of you guys right now. These are families. Not the Fox News bogeymen MS-13.

I don't recall your outrage over this.
There's an old saying where I'm from: Might wanna clean up around your house before you talk about someone else's.

I was gonna help you out but on their home page they had a video of a 10 year old drag queen who knew he was at 2 the first time he watched one so I didn't bother looking any farther.

So now you've changed subjects.
Mach, honestly, you look ridiculous thrashing about trying to find something, anything, to be outraged about. Please stop embarrassing yourself by posting stories like the original.
We know you hate Trump with every fiber of your body. We get it. Take a deep breath, and when a story comes along, read it carefully. Think it through before posting. Consider the source. Maybe wait for your marching orders from the mothership instead of making a complete ass of yourself............AGAIN.

RE: Army is discharging immigrant recruits who were promised citizenship.
Puhleaze........
These people were lied to and it’s because of the immigration crack down.. put down the crack pipe and smell reality Trumpkin. If you want to boot them out fine but they are not deported. It’s called credibility and honoring a deal. That used to mean something and it still does to me. I don’t care if it was one person Trumpkin. You guys hang onto this 40 number and the lawyers say it is at least 40 and the govt. isn’t talking. I’m raising awareness and if you don’t want to be aware you are in the right voting demo. Uneducated, uninformed, and blind to reality.
