Thread: Is US Govt. Recruiting Illegal Aliens for War?

U.S. Govt. Wants to Recruit Mexicans for War
11:56 H | Topics: Controversia - Mexico - Politics

The U.S. government is reportedly attempting to play an interesting game of tit for tat. It's offering undocumented Mexican immigrants a free pass to citizenship if they agree to fight for the U.S. in Iraq. Univision reports:

The U.S. government is carrying out recruitment campaigns aimed at Mexicans, mostly without papers, who are interested in going to the war in Iraq in exchange for citizenship, according to the El Universal newspaper.

Ildefonso Ortiz Cabrera told the Mexican newspaper that he received the "invitation" when he was living in Phoenix, Arizona. He then decided to return to El Burrión, a town in Northern Sinaloa.

Isn't it ironic that the government invites undocumented immigrants to fight but then forgets about the families of soldiers who have already done time in Iraq? Perhaps they know they probably won't ever have to make good on the citizenship offer, since some won't make it back alive.

Haven't we always done this? If this is the case lets see how many brave illegals sign up. My bet is they will run home.

We both know if they are too cowardly to fight their own corrupt governments and run from the drug cartels, they certainly don't have what it takes to serve in our military.

They will wait until hell freezes over in the hopes of another amnesty before they fight and die for a country the majority of them hate.

You guys are kidding me! They know if they sign up, not only they'll be eligible for a citizenship, the whole family too including mamma and pappa! newphews, nieces, cousins, etc... then, little by little they'll bring all of their relatives here. Trust me! They'll do whatever they can to have what they do not have in Mexico. Money, freedom and most important a job so they can collect the monies, send them to Mexico and build a huge home.

I think they are here for a free easy ride and nice big cars. War does not include siestas.
