Biden Administration Provides Immigrants Fast-Tracked Path to Citizenship

The U.S. military has struggled to hit its recruiting marks since going viciously woke and enforcing tyrannical COVID-19 jab mandates.

The Biden regime is desperate to reach recruiting goals and will turn to immigrants to boost its enrollment numbers.

For particularly the Army and Air Force, the Biden administration will give immigrants a fast-tracked path to citizenship by enlisting in the military.

“Struggling to overcome recruiting shortfalls, the Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to enlist, putting out pamphlets, working social media and broadening their outreach, particularly in inner cities,” the Associated Press reports.

From AP:

“It is one thing to hear about the military from locals here, but it is something else when it’s from your fellow brother, from the country you’re from,” said Bidari, who was contacted by Army Staff Sgt. Kalden Lama, the Dallas recruiter, on a Facebook group that helps Nepalese people in America connect with one another. “That brother was in the group and he was recruiting and he told me about the military.”

The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen. But they also require additional security screening and more help filling out forms, particularly those who are less proficient in English.

Both the Army and the Air Force say they will not meet their recruiting goals this year, and the Navy also expects to fall short. Pulling more from the legal immigrant population may not provide large numbers, but any small boosts will help. The Marine Corps is the only service on pace to meet its goal.

Zero Hedge noted:

Of the Army’s 2,900 immigrants recruited this fiscal year, most are from Jamaica, then Mexico, the Philippines and Haiti. Many others came from Nepal, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.

Recruiting immigrants involves extra red tape, with another layer of security screening and coordination with US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Among the associated headaches for recruiters is helping people with a limited command of English navigate and comprehend the paperwork.

According to the New York Post, Department of Defense officials said young Americans want to avoid the risk of death that comes with being in the military and struggle to meet requirements.

Defense leaders say young people are less familiar with the military, are drawn more to corporate jobs that provide similar education and other benefits, and want to avoid the risk of injury and death that service in defense of the United States could bring.

In addition, they say that little more than 20% meet the physical, mental and character requirements to join.

The woke politics and medical discrimination from the past few years certainly doesn’t help military recruiting numbers either.
