First most of them lied about their real name, have bogus a SS#, etc.....so they are disqualified from the start.
Did ANYONE read the actual articles?????? This is the MAVNI program:thats bullshit.....i worked with a kid from Mexico who was in 3-4 years....and was in Iraq 3 tours....Because they don't speak Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, or Pashto. And the MAVNI program is for 09L translaters, not 11B/11C infantry. We already have plenty of Spanish speakers, including in the infantry.No Latinos would be eligible for the program and no one in the program will go infantry.
Why's that?

The Army is enlisting Soldiers onto Active Duty with critical language and culture skills in one of 44 strategic languages.

The change is that they no longer have to be legal.
Spanish is NOT a critical needs language. ALL the articles point out that this program only applies to CHINESE, FARSI, ARABIC, and PASHTO speakers.
The person you served with from Mexico was a Green Card holder.
