Do you think that immigrants should serve there country?
I believe that any people who wish to become a citizen of another country - any country - should be forced by law, as part of the immigration process, to serve at least two years in the armed forces of the country that they wish to become a citizen of. If they are to old or ill to serve in the armed forces, then they should serve the local community for two years in there spare time, doing community service - be it sweeping the streets or teaching in schools.
In this they would show a willingness to serve, protect and be a part of the country that they wish to adopt as there home.
If they are unwilling to do this - then there application should be rejected without further reason.
Any body think along similar lines?
Firstly, let me say that i am not talking about America alone, the same should apply if you wish to become a part of ANY country, UK, Australia, Greece, Russia, America.
Secondly, if you dont feel that the militry of your country can make soldiers of these people, then that does not say much about your militry!
Thirdly, if they fail in the militry - then as well as going to militry prison - at the end of there sentance they are sent back to there home country. Fail and your out, simple.

They are undisciplined and would fail in our Army.They aren't capable of loyalty. At least the Mexicans aren't ,they would be fighting for Mexico and not the US .All they want from the US is a free ride,wages that are higher than those in Mexico but not high enough to support Americans.Because we don't like living with 25 people in a 1BR apt.We cant help the fact that the US is so much better than Mexico.No I personally wouldn't trust any illegal to be in the US Army.There have been a great many Hispanics that are citizens that have served this country well in the military..No to amnesty.No illegals

Britain is currently recruiting for the armed forces in countries like Ghana and Nigeria with the promise of citizenship after. So there, enjoy your stay. Bet US is too in places like Colombia, Brazil and Mexico. The Govt is not you or like you,. Things happen that you don't know about. Anyway, why don't you join up to fight the good fight?

The last thing we should do, Is to teach them the secrets of our military operations.
We already have immigration policies that allow migrants to come here legally by the thousands, If that is too slow for them, Stay home and make your own country a better place to live.

None of you get it. You are all immigrants!!! All of you!!! The only people who arent are the Native Americans, and you stole their land, what is different about other countrys' peoples taking yours? Hmmm. Why dont the native Americans make YOU serve for them? What is different from when YOU, when you immigrated here and gave the indians small pox blankets and killed entire villages of people and stole land that wasnt yours and tricked tribe leaders into giving away their land for things YOU knew were worthless and now when other people want to come to this country illegally?
YOU came here illegally, why can't they?

If they are imigrants for political reasons or their life would be in danger if they were deported then yes, provided they had a usfull skill and could be put to work for their keep.
It would save them taking benefits out of a system that they have not paid into and selling fake jewelry on the markets.
If their life is not in danger then deport them back to their own country. we have fought their wars for them so it is safe to go back now.

I think that if they're going to come here they should at least serve OUR country. Make them pay social security tax, then see if we can make it without reforms.

Do you really want cowardly illegals fighting for you? They would run to the closest border 'to look for a better life'.

They wouldn't last a week in our army the disipline and daily washing alone would kill them.
