A small number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. will
have an opportunity to join the military for the first time in
decades under a new Department of Defense policy unveiled Thursday. The new
rules will expand an existing program allowing recruiters to target foreign
nationals with high-demand skills, mostly rare foreign language expertise or
specialized health care training.For the first time, the program — known as
Military Accessions in the National Interest, or MAVNI — will be open to
immigrants without a proper visa if they came to the U.S. with their parents
before age 16. More specifically, they must be approved under a 2012 Obama
administration policy known as Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, or DACA.
This is something good for those people who came here as kids and they learned
to love this country as if it was theirs, to give their life for it. Some of
them this country is all they got and all they have, it's only fair for them to
fight and be given an opportunity for what they want and believe in. Although
they're immigrants they're willing to die for a land who might not be their
homeland but grew up like if such.
