Trump is deporting LEGAL immigrants serving in the military - 10,000 serving

[Bladewire]

So Trump has shifted from illegal immigrants being rapists & murderers to LEGAL immigrants serving in the military being unworthy of U.S. citizenship. So stupid racists don't want black & brown people to die for the country instead of them. In case you didn't know you're a piece of shit if you still support Trump

"Last week Lucas Calixto, a Brazilian reservist who came to the U.S. when he was 12, filed a lawsuit against the Army, alleging that he was offered no reason for his discharge aside from “personnel security,” and given no chance to defend himself.

U.S. Army Is Discharging Immigrants Who Were Promised Citizenship

The military is booting out immigrant reservists and recruits who enlisted with the promise of a path to citizenship, according to an AP report. Some said they are being discharged with little warning or explanation, and the Army and Pentagon said they could not comment due to pending litigation.

Last week Lucas Calixto, a Brazilian reservist who came to the U.S. when he was 12, filed a lawsuit against the Army, alleging that he was offered no reason for his discharge aside from “personnel security,” and given no chance to defend himself.

Immigration attorneys told the AP they know of around 40 other people who have been discharged under similar circumstances, or whose status is now questionable.

Immigrants have served in the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War, and there are roughly 10,000 serving currently. The immigrants facing discharge all enrolled in recent years as part of the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, or MAVNI. The recruiting program, which was started under the George W. Bush administration, offered expedited naturalization to immigrants with much-needed skills, including military specialists and people fluent in certain languages.

MAVNI came under attack from conservatives when President Obama made DACA recipients eligible, so the military added additional security clearances for recruits. The Trump administration added even more requirements, creating a screening backlog at the Defense Department. Last fall the Pentagon abruptly canceled the contracts of hundreds of immigrants still in the recruitment process, and a few months later the program was suspended.

GOP Congressman Andy Harris, who backed legislation to limit the program, said it should have been established by Congress, not via executive order. “Our military must prioritize enlisting American citizens, and restore the MAVNI program to its specialized, limited scope,” he said.

Immigrants must have legal status to enroll in the military, but now some fear that in addition to losing their military career they could lose their immigration status. An Iranian citizen with a graduate degree in engineering, who was recently discharged, told the AP that he was proud he was “pursuing everything legally and living an honorable life.”

“It’s terrible because I put my life in the line for this country, but I feel like I’m being treated like trash,” he said. “If I am not eligible to become a U.S. citizen, I am really scared to return to my country.”

This is just going to open themselves up to a huge lawsuit.

So you think the Military recruits illegals? Are you really this fucking stupid?


First you racist cunts claim if they come here legally and not break the laws it's ok.. It's just the illegals you don't like. Now he's targeting legal immigrates who were serving in our military as a path to citizenship. That's called following our rules you fucking racist cunt..

You = racist cunt.. Meanwhile you defend a fucking draft doge who didn't serve in our military at time of war when we had a draft.

You = not only equal a racist cunt, but you are a useless cunt.. Another fucking idiot for the ignore list..

Bullcrap. You need to read prior to making yourself look more uneducated than you really are.

There are serious factors working against Perez: He was convicted on a felony drug charge and discharged from the Army for drug use; military service is no guarantee of citizenship; and he never applied for citizenship, despite being eligible to apply in 1994.

Like some of those veterans, Perez mistakenly believed enlisting in the US military would automatically make him a US citizen, said his lawyer, Chris Bergin.

He's literally a shit throwing orangutan on Putin's leash. Once you accept that you realize how much worse things are going to get before they get better.

This is fake news. We're talking about a few recruits from IRAN, CHINA, and PAKISTAN.

These countries send spies to infiltrate. Simple risk reduction, not racism.

It says in the article that recruits must have legal status in the US to join armed forces.
People who overstayed on their status aren't eligible for legalization for 10 years. So yes, he was legal and have maintained his legal status. I know 2 Puerto Ricans who joined military to become US citizens, although they didn't have to in order to live in the US.
