The Republican-led House on Thursday narrowly defeated an attempt to bar
young immigrants living in the country illegally to enlist in the armed
forces, as opponents tied the measure to Donald Trump's presidential
campaign.
Lawmakers voted 211-210 to reject an amendment by Rep. Paul Gosar,
R-Ariz., to the annual defense spending bill. He said he wanted to close
what he called a "backdoor amnesty program" created by President Barack
Obama without approval from Congress.
Can you even imagine that 211 elected officials (33 were Republicans) thought it perfectly fine and legal to allow illegal aliens to serve in our military? It's no wonder no one trusts our government and why no one trusts members of either Party. Read ABC News
