On Thursday, Department of Defense officials announced that for the first time in this nation's history, those living in this country illegally will now be eligible for military service. While the military, for many years, has allowed foreign nationals to serve in our military, the program known as Military Accessions in the National Interest, (MAVNI), that program was only open to those here immigrating here through legal means, the Military Times reported.
Yesterday's changes now affords anyone who can qualify for the 2012 Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) program, better known as Obama's 'Executive Order Amnesty,' the ability to enlist in the military.
This is obviously another tactic being employed by President Obama to give citizenship to illegal aliens, without going through Congress to do so. However, considering that nearly all of those covered by DACA are from Mexico and Central America, this latest political move poses a grave threat to our military as well as to the nation's police departments.
We know that many of those who have recently arrived on our border are members of MS-13, and other violent Latin American gangs and likely affiliated with the Mexican drug cartels. But, because they do not have criminal records in this country, the Border Patrol has been forced by the Obama administration to send them into the interior of the U.S.
In this case, it is not a matter of when gang and cartel members will infiltrate our military, instead, the question is now...How much worse will it get?
In August 2009, Pfc. Michael Jackson Apodaca, 18, was arrested by police in El Paso and charged with the murder of a member of the Juarez Drug Cartel. The victim, Jose Daniel Gonzalez Galeana,was working as an informant for U.S. authorities.
Apodaca enlisted in the U.S. Army in September 2008, and was stationed at Fort Bliss, with the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. It is unknown whether he was recruited by the Juarez Cartel before or after he joined the Army.
A 2011 FBI report on gang activity in the military stated:
Gang recruitment of active duty military personnel constitutes a significant criminal threat to the US military. Members of nearly every major street gang, as well as some prison gangs and OMGs, have been reported on both domestic and international military installations, according to NGIC analysis and multiple law enforcement reporting. Through transfers and deployments, military-affiliated gang members expand their culture and operations to new regions nationwide and worldwide, undermining security and law enforcement efforts to combat crime. Gang members with military training pose a unique threat to law enforcement personnel because of their distinctive weapons and combat training skills and their ability to transfer these skills to fellow gang members.
The National Gang Assessment Center has identified the following Latino street and prison gangs as having gang members who were trained in the U.S. military:
-18th Street Gang
-Florencia 13
-Latin Kings
-Mexican Mafia (La Eme)
-MS 13
-Norteños
-Sureños
These gangs have already infiltrated the ranks of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard and Reserves, according to the FBI.
The idea of allowing illegal aliens who show up to Border Patrol stations along our Southern border, who are covered in gang tattoos, complete with 'teardrop tats (denoting the number of murders they have committed),' to be placed on passenger jets and sent to every corner of this nation is an unthinkable presidential order. To have that same commander-in-chief then order that these same foreign criminals be given the finest military training the world has to offer enters into the arena of sedition.
This is yet another step in Obama's disastrous 'fundamental transformation' of our once great nation.
What in the hell is it gonna take before this anti-American president is stopped? He continually does whatever he wants to with no punishment. He should be jerked out of the white house, stripped of his title and slapped in prison for the rest of his worthless life. He will not stop until it is the United States of Mexico. This flat pisses me off. He is pissing on all the former and current military servicemen.
