It is ridiculous to equate wasting two years in community college with no sign of a graduation requirement to actually serving in the military.Hundreds of thousands of [illegal]-immigrant youths could become eligible to join the military to offset shortages of qualified recruits under a bill pending in Congress.
...
The Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act would allow [illegal immigrant] high-school graduates to gain citizenship if they either attend college for two years or serve two years in the military.
...supporters of the DREAM Act are playing up the bill's military provisions over its educational benefits. Unlike legal immigrants with permanent residency green cards, [illegal] immigrants are barred from enlisting in the military.The military provisions merit consideration, but the unbalanced, undemanding "education" route is merely amnesty and should be debated as such.
