A senior US defense officials today urged the Congress to fast track a section of the stalled immigration bill that would allow the military to recruit illegal aliens, after recruitment figures released by Pentagon showed that the Army failed to reach its targets for May.

Wow.  So, the government wants to make it easier for them to hire illegal immigrants, but harder for everyone else to.

I'm amused.

I guess it qualifies as a job american kids don't want to do anymore.  Roofing, Masonry, getting killed in Iraq, etc.

No, it gets better:

Part of the illegal immigration legislation pending in Congress says that we should pay for increased border security with the fines collected from illegal immigrants...

WTF??????

The whole recruiting thing really, really chaps my ass, because if you do the math, there should be (quite literally) tens of thousands of underemployed young 'True Believers' in the whole 'Iraq As A Part Of The War On Terra' spin machine lined up at the gates, but at the end of the day, when push comes to shove it's always somebody else's job...
