After transforming the military from a force defending the nation to a woke culture war operation, recruiting dropped through the floor. But, no worries, the Biden administration will fill out the ranks in the usual, “there’s always jobs at the Post Office” way by turning it into one giant useless welfare state.
Bidari, who heads to basic training in August, is just the latest in a growing number of legal migrants enlisting in the U.S. military as it more aggressively seeks out immigrants, offering a fast track to citizenship to those who sign up.
Struggling to overcome recruiting shortfalls, the Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to enlist, putting out pamphlets, working social media and broadening their outreach, particularly in inner cities. One key element is the use of recruiters with similar backgrounds to these potential recruits.
The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen. But they also require additional security screening and more help filling out forms, particularly those who are less proficient in English.
If there’s anything we want it’s migrants who are not proficient in English. What could go wrong?
Who needs a “quick route” to citizenship? Citizenship naturally doesn’t take all that long. It’s usually 1-2 years. It’s longer however for people who just received their residency status. The people looking for a quick route are probably fairly recent arrivals who might normally have to wait five years before they can apply.
Last October, the Army reestablished a program for legal permanent residents to apply for accelerated naturalization once they get to basic training. Recruiters began to reach out on social media, using short videos in various languages to target the top 10 countries that recruits had come from during the previous year.
Is it really a great idea to recruit people who need to be targeted in non-English languages?
Thomas said the program required changes to Air Force policy, coordination with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and a careful screening process to ensure there are no security risks.
“We have to take exceptional measures to be able to thoroughly vet and go through the security clearance investigation,” he said, adding that in many cases the immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.
In many cases. But seemingly in other cases they are “immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.”
Algorithmic Analyst says
The better to use the military against American citizens.
Ugly Sid says
Fifty years ago plus the Army was stuck with thousands of nominal citizens drafted from Puerto Rico, with zero English language skills. I mean none.
This was the 1st AD, Fort Hood. I have no idea how recruit infantry training was accomplished, not that there any distinct markers that it had been.
This is sabotage.

For most of its history, Rome’s military was the envy of the ancient world. But during the decline, the makeup of the once mighty legions began to change. Unable to recruit enough soldiers from the Roman citizenry, emperors like Diocletian and Constantine began hiring foreign mercenaries to prop up their armies. The ranks of the legions eventually swelled with Germanic Goths and other barbarians, so much so that Romans began using the Latin word “barbarus” in place of “soldier.” While these Germanic soldiers of fortune proved to be fierce warriors, they also had little or no loyalty to the empire, and their power-hungry officers often turned against their Roman employers. In fact, many of the barbarians who sacked the city of Rome and brought down the Western Empire had earned their military stripes while serving in the Roman legions.
Daniel Greenfield says
Indeed. A very important point. And something we ought to remember.
TruthLaser says
The problem of Rome filling the ranks of its army was due to the plagues of the second and third centuries and the reduced earnings for soldiers. The US today has the problem of reduced birth rate and cultural Marxism reducing volunteer enlistment and continuing to serve.

This of course was the plan from the gitgo. Millions of military age illegals that have flooded our cities will fill police and military slots . Zero allegiance to America and the constitution. Laws will mean nothing. It will be by “authority” only.
Greebo says
This will allow those in the CENTRAL government to use them on US citizens, because these foreigners do not understand that it is illegal, & the people that they will be set on, will not be their own people.
Very clever for installing a Police State OVER US citizens who apparently cannot be bothered to unite against this infiltration & overthrow of “their” government.
BLSinSC says
There was a time when people came to the US and LEARNED ENGLISH BEFORE they could become CITIZENS! And there was a time when young men and women had faith in their Country and Government that serving in the Military was a valid option for those not going on to college! But then there was a time when Our Nation was not the corrupt cesspool it is now! The media and DEMOcrats and rinos have combined to destroy what MILLIONS around the world risk their LIVES to enter!! And now they’ve ruined our Military and need to enlist nitwits, misfits, and NON=CITIZENS who don’t even SPEAK ENGLISH!!! The FIRST thing I would do in office is to END the “Press ONE for ENGLISH” crap!!
Neil says
Can’t wait for them to start recuiting ISIS members

Fort Hood?…..seems as if that has already been accomplished. Here in uk mu slums are being used to keep the population under control; they do not have to obey our laws at all. Eastern Europe sent us their criminal class when the EU borders opened in 2002, the police employ virtually anyone but especially those who don’t like us. I will never forget how they kneeled publically in central London to the blm terrorists.
