U.S. Army discharging troops promised citizenship through service

rant-recruits/

Immigrant enlistees into the Army’s active duty and reserve units, promised a path to citizenship in exchange for military service, are being discharged from the service’s ranks.
Roughly 40 U.S. soldiers have been quietly discharged from the Army due to their immigrant status, the Associated Press reported Thursday night. Potentially more have been involuntarily separated from the ground service, but Army and Pentagon officials declined to provide additional details on those discharges, due to pending litigation against the service by those being removed, the AP reports.
The existing Army program, known as the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program or MAVNI was initiated under the George W. Bush administration.
Under the program, immigrants seeking to enlist in the Army must be in the U.S. legally before being considered for military service. President Barack Obama extended the program to allow young immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA policy to participate.
Over 5,000 recruits enlisted into the Army in 2016 alone, under the program with over 10,000 currently in uniform in the Army and other service branches. Immigrant enlistees are eligible to become naturalized U.S. citizens upon completion of basic training. Over 110,000 U.S. service members have joined the military since Sept. 11, 2001.

Call it another trial balloon.

I heard about this on WGN last night.

40 out of 15,000 isn't a bad number by any means. Should probably wait for more details about the "why" before anybody goes making any rush judgements and starts calling everybody racists.

Those 40 make up .0026% of the amount of people who went into the program since it was enacted by the GWB admin, according to your article.

I can think of about 1,000 reasons why 40 of 15,000 people might be discharged from the armed services, and none of them have anything to do with race or nationality is all I'm saying.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

While I don't give Trumps administration the benefit of the doubt on anything, I want to be careful with this one. I recently saw were our military had a gang problem. If the story is true the press may not have picked up on the correct reason why this is happening. That said, if it is true and these are not gang members, this would be another example of why I am embarrassed to be American at the moment.

Wise move.

Is gang membership the only "out" here? I'd widen that scope if I were you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_discharge

Quote:
According to the Department of Defense, out of 207,000 service members that were discharged in 2014, more than 18,000 (9%) were issued less-than-honorable paperwork, including 4,143 (2.0%) other-than-honorable discharges, 637 (0.31%) bad conduct discharges, and 157 (0.08%) dishonorable discharges. After 2000, 352,000 people were handed similar papers ranging from general discharge to bad conduct and dishonorable discharge.[18]

There are a lot of potential reasons for a discharge. Very little of these reasons would have anything to do with their nationality status, especially considering there are nearly 15,000 still in the service, which amounts to well over 99% of those who entered this program. (18,000 personnel in general in 2014 got a "less than honorable" discharge)

If anything, I would say that a 99%+ pass rate would be evidence that people in this program are held to less strict standards than citizens who join the services.

Fintan O’Toole: Trial runs for fascism are in full flow
Babies in cages were no ‘mistake’ by Trump but test-marketing for barbarism
https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/fintan-o-toole-trial-runs-for-fasci
sm-are-in-full-flow-1.3543375

"To see, as most commentary has done, the deliberate traumatisation of migrant children as a “mistake” by Trump is culpable naivety. It is a trial run – and the trial has been a huge success. Trump’s claim last week that immigrants “infest” the US is a test-marketing of whether his fans are ready for the next step-up in language, which is of course “vermin”. And the generation of images of toddlers being dragged from their parents is a test of whether those words can be turned into sounds and pictures. It was always an experiment – it ended (but only in part) because the results were in.

‘Devious’ infants
And the results are quite satisfactory. There is good news on two fronts. First, Rupert Murdoch is happy with it – his Fox News mouthpieces outdid themselves in barbaric crassness: making animal noises at the mention of a Down syndrome child, describing crying children as actors. They went the whole swinish hog: even the brown babies are liars. Those sobs of anguish are typical of the manipulative behaviour of the strangers coming to infest us – should we not fear a race whose very infants can be so devious? Second, the hardcore fans loved it: 58 per cent of Republicans are in favour of this brutality. Trump’s overall approval ratings are up to 42.5 per cent.

This is greatly encouraging for the pre-fascist agenda. The blooding process has begun within the democratic world. The muscles that the propaganda machines need for defending the indefensible are being toned up. Millions and millions of Europeans and Americans are learning to think the unthinkable. So what if those black people drown in the sea? So what if those brown toddlers are scarred for life? They have already, in their minds, crossed the boundaries of morality. They are, like Macbeth, “yet but young in deed”. But the tests will be refined, the results analysed, the methods perfected, the messages sharpened. And then the deeds can follow."

What will be the next outrage? How will they condition the ignorant to accept barbarity as the norm?

SCUMBAG!

Rupert Murdoch is 87 years old. His sons run the show now. One of whom donated a large amount of money to the Clinton Foundation.

FOX News, just like CNN and MSNBC are nothing more than whores for ratings, and are the number one reason why everyone is arguing all the time. Regardless of what any of them say, they all LOVE Trump. Business is booming for these 24/7 whores.

Online anyways. I seem to get along just fine with everybody in real life and nobody talks about politics. I think you probably need to go outside and get some fresh air. Maybe leave your smartphone at home when you go out and visit with people, and request that they don't use theirs while you're together.

Of course that number is very low percent wise, and I included that part of the article specifically so there are no accusations of hyperbole. The questions any curious person should be asking - especially in this current anti-immagrant climate - is why now? Why not before? Why is this suddenly important? Is this another trial balloon? You don't mess with the Military without seeing what The Base's response is going to be.

There are reductions being made to all forms of immigration, legal and illegal, and now we're even seeing attempts to de-naturalize immigrants. That's f*cked up. Unless maybe that warms your heart?
