The United States army is to accept immigrants with temporary US visas, for the first time since the Vietnam war, according to the New York Times. Until now immigrants have had to have permanent residency - a "green card" - in order to qualify for the services.
But those with temporary visas will be offered accelerated citizenship if they enrol, the Times says.
"The army will gain in its strength in human capital, and the immigrants will gain their citizenship and get on a ramp to the American dream."
Army recruiters say their job has become easier in recent months as unemployment has risen in the US. But even so, they regret having had to turn away many immigrants because they had only temporary residency.
However, the Times said there appeared to be some opposition from officers and veterans, who expressed concern that some foreigners might have divided loyalties or be terrorists seeking to infiltrate the US armed services.
Haven't you heard? We are One World. Since we have no borders, we certainly can’t expect allegiance. These veterans are nuts.
I never did trust them anyway. Took my dog to a Veteran one time to get him 'fixed', and he overcharged me. Next dog I get, I'll spray him myself, with a garden hose. Can't be THAT complicated...

Why do you consider this great news? I have the same concerns as the veterans. I believe we are inviting enemy infiltration, and who knows what else. Why don’t they just hire mercenaries? At least we will know they are in it for the money, and there will be no allegiance.

Well we have Blackwater which is mostly ex U.S. special forces from various branches. People didn't like that much so I doubt they'd like foreign mercenaries any better.
this is great news. enlistment is below average now. they have lowered intellectual standards, and relaxed restrictions on individuals with prior criminal history.
i highly doubt that bad will come of this. its as suspect as the claim that gang members infiltrate the armed services and take what they learn back to the hood.
thats paranoia. it wont happen.
besides most people who would like to see the US fail are not the ones dying to move here. it might be those who belong to religions with extreme military factions, i.e. islam. are we now going to exclude muslims from serving in the armed services because some muslims around the world want to destroy the US?
and as i know. the armed services are a way of people getting out of the hood and making something for themselves.
thats tha way i see it. another rung on the ladder of success in the US!
i dont think the armed services are going to be over run by people intent on harming the US.
GREAT NEWS!!!
