Green Card or Citizenship Serving in Military

While we haven't personally investigated this ourselves, we'll report what we've heard and you can make your own decision. It has been reported that U.S. military recruiters are dangling the offer of American citizenship at young illegal immigrants.

These illegals, who are looking at every option to becoming legal, are told they will get citizenship quickly for them and their entire families. OK, there is some truth to that statement. We found, after some research, that the recruit generally gains American citizenship - and usually pretty quick - depending on what Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) finds.

But what about mom and dad and sister and brother?

Not so fast. Each person in the family has to go through a separate application process. They may get a little good out of the sibling enlisting in the U.S. military, but we did see any in our research.

As we've reported before, illegal aliens have open ears to any and all immigration lawyers. When their friends here in the United States tell them of another lawyer with information, they are quick on it, sometimes driving days to get any new bit of information that may help them become legal here in this country. So when they hear that you can really get a Green Card and United States Citizenship by enlisting in the military here, they are pressured by family and friends.

Illegal aliens are wide open to exploitation in this case. As a large part of illegal aliens are slaves to their undercover routine here in America, they suffer certain vulnerabilities. And the pressure by the illegal alien flock is great. Why?

Because illegal aliens that enlist are enticed into bringing other illegal aliens into the military fold. They are paid $2000 US for every friend they talk into enlisting, and in some recruiting offices they are paid $50 US for every name they provide to a recruiter.

But it doesn't stop at cash. Provide names and get your friends to enlist and you get a higher military rank. Good quality friends - higher promotions. And once enlisted, the soldier can request hazardous duty. Sign up for combat or dismantling explosives, handle toxic chemicals, and you just won an additional $150 US a month.

We found that since most illegal aliens signing up don't have a college education, their pick of jobs in the military is very limited. Most are sent into combat, anyway. The tests are only administered in English - and jobs requiring security clearance can only be held by a U.S. Citizen.

But can illegal immigrants serve in the military? The Pentagon says "no" - and we take up that issue in our next report. We'll address the illegal who was found out and shipped home. The Pentagon says they enlisted fraudulently. Yet recruiters are paying to have them enlist. Puzzling.
