Default Border Crisis? Or is it????

Hear me out....

All of these immigrants coming across the border are being granted access to the U.S.

Housed in government allocated spaces (for how long??).

Most of them are being advertised as "military age" men from many different countries.

Right now our military is at very low recruitment levels, and these new immigrants are in need of jobs.

This is where it gets interesting... Our government is itching to get involved, first hand, in a war and likely wants to do this to repair the economy (and line their own pockets at the same time)

Do you think it is likely that these arrivals are being allowed in because our government is going to force them to the front of the lines when they get us involved in the aforementioned war?

I could and may be wrong, but would love to hear other theories.

Your theory is bumpkis.

They are being allowed in under the plan to make them all democrat voters.

Military age =/= military capability.

Communication would be disastrous.

That said, they make make good tunnel rats.

Could be their path to citizenship. Serve and become a citizen.

Sending them off to war would most likely ensure they would NOT vote Democrat.

While I'm not opposed to the idea of illegal aliens being used as cannon fodder, I doubt that many of them would be very useful as soldiers. Someone who sneaks into the US illegally is probably very likely to go AWOL as soon as the fighting starts.

Bingo! They've already shown their willingness to violate federal law, what makes anybody think they wouldn't do it again? And, as a former member of the military, I can't imagine trying to lead servicemembers who snuck into the country and likely speak very little English. That's a recipe for big problems.

A dem politician has openly said serving as a path for citizenship. One way for it to happen will be to throw the choice of draft or illegals in the military. Pub and dem alike would vote for illegals guaranteed.

I think the purpose is to create absolute chaos, so that no one objects when all the entitlements, like S.S., Disability and retirement in general, get slashed. And I think Biden was placed to be the fall guy while Trump appears to be getting prepped to be the savior.

When he kicks several million marauding illegals out, the bitter feelings of a dramatic living standard reduction, will be less emotional. I can see it now, like the old “fireside chats” FDR used to placate his citizens. I can see President Trump bringing the American people to heel with promises of justice for the Swamp, that has harmed our great Nation. But justice is slow and precise so patience is needed. Many, many decades of patience.

IF Trump wins, he should set up detention zones. City dems would have to apprehend and transport to the zone. That way both sides would have skin in the game.

Why would anyone want the scum in the military? The military is not a social experiment.

After doing 23 years in the .mil, I can assure you that it is a huge social experiment. I told my sons to not even think about serving. I did enough time for the whole family.

Agreed. Plus, how are they going to track down a bunch of illegals and somehow for them to join? Maybe we can convince them to keep moving north. I hear Canada is very welcoming.

Remember that scene in Braveheart when the English hire an army full of Irish mercenaries - and they turn on the English and join with the Scots? You put a weapon in the hands of these immigrants, and I don't think it's going to go the way you want it to... IMO YMMV

Yeah - we have our own Biden / open border crisis to deal with too. Except our Biden is even more embarrassing...
