Army, Real estate, what other (trap)doors ?

In mid-Feb 2009 the global immigrant community was abuzz with news that the American military would begin recruiting immigrants holding temporary visas, with a chance to become citizens within six months.

While this appears to be a good move to reinforce depleting war resources the potential of a security threat is surely not as invisible as it appears... or rather doesn't appear.

As if this wasn't sufficient reason for US-citizen wannabes globally to start drooling, today Wall Street Journal published an article suggesting how immigrants could help re-build the American real estate financial empire if they were granted resident status on purchase of surplus houses!!

What with the American treasury depending on Chinese finances to get itself out of the financial doldrums, the military building it's strength on resident "aliens" and American consumer finance attempting to lure immigrants to help re-build itself, where does that leave the US as an independent entity? Or is this the quintessential spirit of "unity" that USA stands for?

I pray and hope it indeed is.

  1. Hi Charag,
    I am ready for enlistment. I already own a house here. I am already on way to citizenship. But are we willing to stay here for ever ? Did you hear to-day, that 5 european countries where the natives voted to deport the aliens if un-employed. They are U.k.,Germany,France, Italy and Sweden !An alien is an alien and on any day he may be asked to quit for one reason or the other like it happened to Gujjus all over north Africa in the eighties.!
