Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is one of the Senate’s leading illegal alien advocates. Recently he floated an idea that carries that advocacy to a new level of absurdity. He stated, “Do you know what the recruiting numbers are at the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force? They can’t reach their quotas each month. They can’t find enough people to join.” His solution: fill the depleted ranks with illegal aliens.
Does it occur to him that people who have shown contempt for our laws and sovereignty might not have much potential for loyal service? Evidently not. Taking a page from history, it didn’t work out well for the Romans when they tried to replenish their ranks with foreigners who cared little for Rome.
One reason we have a military recruitment problem today is the globalist agenda of our elites. This agenda drags us in foreign entanglements and conflicts which offer no benefits to average Americans. Thus it’s scarcely surprising that enlistments have decreased.
If we slashed foreign meddling, while deploying the military to secure our border from the invasion orchestrated by drug cartels, we would have no shortfall of recruits.
