Why can't we recruit illegals for the military?

I think we should offer amnesty to illegal aliens who are willing to enlist in the US military for 8 years. We already allow legal aliens to enlist so loyalty shouldn't be an issue. The military is having trouble recruiting enough soldiers and many illegal workers are the right age and in great physical shape. They may not have the education or skills to ever rise in rank but we need dish washers and ditch diggers.

Historically, military service was used as a path to citizenship for many. Why not let illegal aliens do one more job that Americans don't want to?

Update:

We don't have to actually give them guns, just shovels to bury the dead and stuff. We can pay them half of what an American soldier earns too.

    Speaking as a soldier, currently in iraq, i do not want them. I don't want someone who is unwilling to do things the right way, be the one who is watching my back. Id rather they stay in their own country, protest THEIR government, and maybe their country would be worth a damn.

    at first, there is not any 'fake hopes' of having money for college. in the event that they promise it to you, you get it. you do no longer might desire to sign the settlement. no longer in basic terms that yet whilst they're transforming into up in a international of poverty, starting to be a member of the protection rigidity is a constructive way of helping to coach that around. there are various of reward to being in the protection rigidity. so some distance as for no count if a recruiter lies, they actually are not allowed to from now on. And in the event that they did, it might only provide them a foul acceptance with the different ability recruits. Many branches of the protection rigidity met their quota for the form of recent recruits early this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. And, up till you bypass away for Boot Camp, you may continuously substitute your thoughts. Minors can not sign any legally binding settlement without discern permission, and the two mom and father might desire to additionally sign.

    Can't trust them. They don't fight their own country. They ran.
