Just over 30% of the US enlisted soldiers (military volunteers) are not US citizens - they are immigrants serving in our military in hopes of one day becoming citizens.
Trump himself dodged the military draft FIVE times…his 5th for flat feet or shin splints or some wimpy excuse.
How can Republicans stand and allow this to dontinue? Trump is immoral and tearing our nation apart.
As destructive and incompetent as Bush was for the nation and the Republican party, Trump is on track to killing both if he’s allowed to retain power. The Republicans need to step up and save our nation - IMPEACH the mentally sick Trump.
So Rep. Ros-Lehtinen, is retiring, that’s explains a lot. The issue of the dreamers now goes to Congress, Last time they refused to do anything about it. I want to see what Ryan and Rubio and the rest of the clowns they do once Breitbart and Limbaugh and Ingraham and the rest of the radio popinjays start yelling “Amnesty!” on anything other than deport all the “dreamers” right away .
Personnally, I think he smells that it could be big trouble for him, and he knows the press will be BAAAAADDDD and there will be huge protests about this and his numbers may fall even further. So he wants to let RAyn and McTurtle take the fall, while attempting to shame them into doing what he wants (à la healthcare).
Basically, it boils down to this: he doesn’t have the nuts to really take a real stand and deal with the fallout (which is why, among other things, he sends his bodyguard out to fire people…).
I think he has, once again, just placed his bull-self back into the Congressional GOP China shop. Support Trump or Support Dreamers - lose voters (the scale of how many from either direction) either way.

If it were another issue, and not so vile in terms of the consequences for these young people, I would probably enjoy watching the show of GOPer eating GOPer. It is a bed the GOP in Congress made quite some time ago. But I can’t find joy in watching this show. Cruel.
Regardless of the political price (which I think will happen for most GOPers to some extent, however they vote) I hope the members find their humanity and do the right thing.
And also by the way, there were multitudes at my inauguration, many, many people, far, far more than at that Black Man’s. I have the pictures to prove it …
You mean to say that Dumbo Don the Con is a coward? That aside from lacking brains, knowledge and empathy he lacks bravery? That, in short, Dumbo Don the Con is a first class cowardly creep?
Paul Ryan said he was opposed to dropping DACA. So now Trump calls his bluff. Let’s see what Ryan and all these other naysayers do to legislate DACA over the next six months.
Modern day Republican: “Something,something,four more years of Obama, something,something,tilted e-mail server, something,something, government overreach, something,something, Gorsuch (which is more of a thing now, than it was last year.), something,something…”
