As to your other bullshyte claim? Show me where the Dems or anyone else has a plan to offer citizenship free of effort. I'll save you the time, it's all unsubstantiated bull pucky that you heard directly from Rush Limburger, Hannity or at Infowars. Try again smartass.

Well then show me the bill in it's entirety the whole thing pork and all that went for vote.

Military participation is often a way for immigrant residents to become citizens. Since many people seek citizenship for its financial and social benefits, the promise of citizenship can be seen as a means of motivating persons to do dangerous activities such as fight in wars. For example, a 2009 article in the New York Times said that the United States Military was recruiting "skilled immigrants who are living in this country with temporary visas" by promising an opportunity to become citizens "in as little as six months" in exchange for service in Afghanistan and Iraq where US forces are "stretched thin."[47] The option was not open to illegal immigrants.[47] One estimate was that in 2009 the US military had 29,000 foreign-born people currently serving who were not American citizens.[47] Spouses of citizens or non-citizens who served in the military also have less difficulty becoming citizens.

Denham's bill would allow immigrants who were brought to this country on or before Dec. 31, 2011, and were younger than 15 years old to become legal, permanent residents — the first step toward citizenship — through honorable service in the military.

Answer me this. What is it about Denham's proposed Bill that your buddies at the Heritage foundation find to be "deplorable"?

From your source: "A majority of unaccompanied minors are not eligible to remain legally in the United States and are eventually returned home."

Can you explain what this has to do with the bill in question?

Because we already know that these folks are not being sent home now. I've posted here recently an LA Times article that describes how the notion of Obama as "deporter in chief" was based on inflated numbers. We also know that the administration is looking at ways of further reducing deportation activity.

This is so stupid

Republican party saying fuck you to people willing to put their lives on the line for this nation.

What the hell is happening to this country?

What do you then say to the people who are, and have been waiting to enter the country through legal means. The very first act an illegal does when he enters the USA is break the law. Yeh, that's the kinda folks we need.

This bill was about immigrants serving in the armed forces and gaining a pathway to citizenship and your party of 'NO' did what they always do, block it for simply partisan reasons Jay.

Thank God we have the ability to sometimes stop these circus freaks. After the midterms we will have a fighting chance.
