It's not unheard of to have non-citizens serving in the military. When I was in the Navy, most of the AKs (Aviation Storekeepers) and MSs (Mess Specialists i.e. cooks) were non-citizen Phillipinos. They dominated those ratings because they were among the few jobs non-citizens were allowed to have. Now that I've looked it up, it turns out there are almost 40 NECs that non-citizens are qualified for:
Navy Jobs Available to Non-U.S. Citizens
If done right, this probably won't be a bad thing.
But it really irks me that government is focused on immigration to help pad the elections when there are much more important reforms that need to be done.
Bingo!!!
