Probably a good start, but you're in the wrong state Elvis.

I tell u what is u President Obama's fault! Check this out:

The U.S. Army is offering a golden ticket, instant citizenship (6 months), to Temporary Immigrants in the U.S. who know one or more of 35 languages.

The U.S. military, stretched thin in Afghanistan and Iraq, will recruit about 550 temporary immigrants, including those from India who know Hindi and Tamil, offering them a golden chance to become US citizens in as little as six months. The pilot program, for the first time since the Vitenam War, will open the armed forces to temporary immigrants if they have lived in the US for a minimum of two years, the New York Times reported quoting military officials familiar with the plan. The Army's one-year pilot program will begin in New York City to recruit about 440 temporary immigrants who speak one or more of 35 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Igo, Kurdish, Nepalese, Pashto, Russian and Tamil. It will also include about 300 medical professionals to be recruited nationwide. Recruiting will start after Dept. of Homeland Security officials update an immigration rule in coming days. Immigrants who are permanent residents, with documents commonly known as green cards, have long been eligible to enlist. Recruiters expect that the temporary immigrants will have more education, foreign language skills and professional experitise than many Americans who enlist, helping the military to fill shortages in medical care, language interpretation and field intelligence analysis.

So what I see here it's not only a Mex problem it's a Obama matter who's saying there's a Golden Ticket to inmigrants who joing the Army and become a US Citizen no q's asked!

I'm a Mex I live in Cancun I didn't vote 4 u President Obama.. so don't blame me!

The Army lawyer who wrote that should be shot.

So nine immigrants join the Army and meet the minimum qualification, they all know one language and it isn't English.

SGT Snuffy calls roll for this new squad, only he can't speak Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Igo, Kurdish, Nepalese, Pashto, Russian or Tamil.

They can't understand him, he can't understand them, they can't understand each other.

At least we got nine new citizens out of the deal that will vote democrat.

I hate to break this off to you but this "golden ticket" has been around for decades. It has been for the educated only like doctors, professors, just the elite of Mexico. It has been extended to the linguistics bunch recently. I always thought it was pretty arrogant that we would accept the cream of the professionals from Mexico but not the working class.

You guys crack me up. How many of you have actually been in a war? how many of you have been shot at, been face down in a muddy hole with hundreds of rounds going past your head and explosions everywhere while your ears ring so loud it drives some nuts?? just how many i wonder. Before you all get big and brave with your shotguns and pistolas think of what it may be like first. Think back and try to Remember the rainiest, windiest, nastiest ****ing day then times it by 1000,0000 and you will be in the ballpark of being shot at

Yes we call that American with Mexican Heritage.

Just like American with African Heritage. Don't need anymore hyphenated Americans. We are all AMERICANS.

My draft number in 1972 was 262, so I didn't make the trip, but I thank those who did!! I own a pellet gun and can hit a ground squirrel at 30 feet, maybe more on a calm day. If I am ever attacked by the little beasts, I am ready!

The last draft in 1973 my number was 10.
I would have been a goner but, I was only 17.

Sign me up for that one bud. And I agree but I will also tell you that theres some people I know who never even though about joining the military that I would have swapped out my comrades with in a heart beat.

you do not and would not have to have been to war, or been in the military to stand up and fight for your people.

And without arguement can I ask why, and how mexico would be such a problematic opposition? seriously just looking for info not trying to start a flame.
