How about sending illegals to fight in Iran?

Question

If they come back, they'd get citizenship.

We'd be killing two birds with one stone, and saving valuable American lives.

Answer 1

1) There is no war in Iran

2) Who said that American lives were any more valuable than anybody else's?

Answer 2

Thats a great idea, except history shows that there is always payback.. Did you hear about the crusades. Arabs think we still have payback coming for that. There are no easy answers, oh but waite maybe there is. If people who do very little did not get the biggest incomes maybe then there would be fewer poor, and oh my God it would be hard to find people to fight if there were not so many reasons to be dissatisfied. Do you think these terrorists are happy people who had high standards of living and thought things were just being done too fairly. Think aboutit. is it a good idea for a CEO or ball player to receive millions for lets say 8 hours of work a day, and someone you entrust with the picking (thus close proximity to your food) to get a few dollars for 70 hours a week. There is the problem. This is a class war and the users have got us fighting each other, not the first time. It is war and the enemy is not workers but the answers are just not that simple except in all the Holy books where it says to share.

Answer 3

If the illegal immigrants volunteered to fight in exchange for citizenship do you think that they would make an all out effort as do the patriotic guys who are fighting now? Or do you think that they would just do the minimum required so they would get by and come back?

I would say that they might be given an opportunity if they had to stay the entire 8 years on active duty. They would have to be in a non-sensitive area.

Answer 4

Never work. Plus we are not at war with Iran (yet). Our government does not advertise to use mercenaries (which is basiclly what this option would be) although I personally feel and believe that we are doing it in a round about way by paying all the countries that are helping in the war on terror.

As far as illegals or foreigners fighting for the US, if you would check the INS statistics each year thousands of foreign born people are sworn in as citzens after having served in the various branches of the US Military. As a retired army veteran I have served with many such people from hundreds of dfferent countries.

Answer 5

Well there's 1 problem with that. Remember when Rome used German mercs to fight for them? They had no loyalty to Rome and therefore didn't fight as hard. Is that what America needs?

Answer 6

Hey Philosopher,

I am sorry to ruin your day... Every week we have swearing in ceremonies for alien citizens who are signing up for our military. Any person that wishes to gain citizenship in the U.S. only needs to enter a recruiting station and say they'd like to sign-up.

They are brought, after a background check, to courthouses and INS centers all over the U.S. (Here in San Diego, they actually do it on Aircraft carriers for the Navy -- Hundreds every month), there they swear them in and BAM! They are legal!

But I am going to ruin my chances for best answer for what I am about to say:

ONCE THEY ARE SWORN IN, THEY ARE VALUABLE AMERICAN LIVES!

Sorry to break it to you Redneck, but I would prefer 1 of them to 10,000 of you to protect the shores of this country. I am pretty sure that in the event of an attack, you would have your VALUABLE American life -- sitting up in Canada!

Just my opinion,


James in San Diego

Answer 7

I have a better idea... send known gang members over to the Middle East to fight. They wanna pop a cap in someone's ***? Give 'em the chance. If they get killed, who cares? They're gangbangers!

Answer 8

specific, there is evidence that Iran is development nukes. First, the refusal to allow inspectors to envision (if it is so "harmless" and "non violent," why won't be able to we see it?), besides because of the fact the presence of weapons-grade cloth (weapons-grade is diverse than advertisement-grade) and fissile detonators (ability flora do no longer want tritium detonators - bombs do). or perhaps in the journey that your weapon application became non violent, your united states is a self-proclaimed sponsor of terrorist agencies that have attacked us... how do all of us understand that a number of your fissile cloth isn't "by risk" lost? it fairly is made even worse by ability of your chief's BLATANT and PUBLIC comments that he wanted for Israel to be "wiped off the face of the earth." Is it so complicated to appreciate why we don't desire you getting your palms on nuclear cloth, extraordinarily while your united states is internally risky and terrorist-helping? that's like giving a primed hand grenade to a crowd of toddlers and seeing in the event that they gained't blow themselves up. specific, all of us stay on the comparable international. specific, our families are like your families. even nonetheless, your families take place to be in enormous insurrection against the chief who's merchandising nuclear weapons. specific, you fought back against Saddam years in the past... because of the fact which you had a conflict. And specific, Saddam did have Western-made weapons - yet you could say that of almost any united states interior the international. We make weapons, and that i do agree it became a mistake to offer him such numerous. bear in ideas, nonetheless, we armed him to combat against the U.S., which became a good extra effective possibility on the time. What do you mean by ability of "further wars... retaining financial gadget and individuals occupied?" Wars might hire some human beings, yet governments many times ward off them. some thing approximately enormous expenses and public disapproval, i do no longer understand. tl;dr: individuals do no longer hate Iran. They hate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his lies, and the extreme possibility he poses if he helpful properties get entry to to nuclear ability. So stop whining approximately how all human beings looks to hate you and connect the reason at the back of WHY we are exhibiting hate.

Answer 9

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me, but first they must learn English!

Answer 10

They sneak away from MX but you think they'd fight for a country who's laws they broke by entering?
Don't think so.
