Calling me a liar is hilarious. Do you not understand that the MAVNI program is discontinued? Do you not understand that an illegal (including DACA) can not join the US Military at all? Your link is what is lying to you. You haven't looked anything up (now you're the one lying), because had you actually looked it up you would have come to the realization that your claim is that of ignorance and your links author didn't do any research on it either. When you rely on some authors ignorance, what does that make you?They are not serving, go look up how many are in that program , you might find 1 or 2. You will find very few immigrants at all, as it requires specialty languages in order to get in. There are no DACA Doctors nor Nurses in it. Like your link says, Spanish isn't a language that would qualify.900 haven't served in the military, in fact none of the DACA recipients have served, legally they can't as they are still illegal immigrants. They have signed contracts to join, yet they can't get into basic training until they become legal, thus after 2 years of a signed contract that contract will become null and void.900 out of 800,000 have served in the military, uh that's not a great percentage, so stop lying about it.Are y'all familiar with the term...
de fac·to
ˌdā ˈfaktō/
adverb
- in fact, or in effect, whether by right or not.
DACA kids are de facto citizens of the U.S.
--they know no other country, pay taxes, serve in the OUR military and are better American citizens than the xenophobes and bigots who want them deported...
The typical Trump xenophobe is a bitter pathetic failure in life who wants to blame their own lack of accomplishments on someone else. Most are not smart enough, educated enough, or hard working enough to accomplish what DACA kids have.
DACA kids represent the best of us. We should focus on getting rid of the ugly vile racists who drag our country down under the guise of making it great.
FACTS:
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Eligibility
To be eligible, illegal immigrants must have entered the United States before their 16th birthday and prior to June 2007, be currently in school, a high school graduate or be honorably discharged from the military, be under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, and not have been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or three other misdemeanors, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. The program does not provide lawful status or a path to citizenship,[38] nor does it provide eligibility for federal welfare or student aid.[3]
In August 2012, the Migration Policy Institute estimated that as many as 1.76 million people could be eligible for DACA. Of those, 28% were under 15 and would have to wait until reaching that age to apply. In addition, roughly 20% did not meet any of the education criteria, but could become eligible by enrolling in a program before submitting their application. 74% of the eligible population was born in Mexico or Central America. Smaller proportions came from Caribbean and South America (11%), Asia (9%), and the rest of the world (6%).[39][38]
To qualify for DACA, applicants must meet the following major requirements, although meeting them does not guarantee approval:
- Came to the United States before their 16th birthday
- Have lived continuously in the United States since June 15, 2007
- Were under age 31 on June 15, 2012 (born on June 16, 1981 or after)
- Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making their request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS
- Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012
- Have completed high school or a GED, have been honorably discharged from the armed forces, or are enrolled in school
- Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors, or three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety
except that isn't true:
The [900] DACA enlistees are part of a Pentagon pilot project called Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest. The program waives certain citizenship requirements for green card holders, refugees and DACA recipients with skills that the military considers essential to the national interest.
The group includes doctors, nurses, and service members with proficiency in a language considered to be of strategic importance. Spanish is not one of those languages, but Arabic, Russian, Chinese and Korean are.
Homeland Security spokesman Dave Lapan said his agency and the Pentagon were still reviewing how to handle the military status of DACA recipients who are serving.
Trump administration struggles with fate of 900 DREAMers serving in the military
I did look it up. that's where the 900 came from. again, the article says what it says. that's from USA today, a pretty middle America paper.
DACA recipients speak English. they were raised here. some of them don't even speak the language of their country of birth.
is there some reason you feel bound to lie about this?
