If someone fails a background check, they should be able to appeal this or should be told why it failed, and given a chance to rectify. You don't just throw people out who fail it first time.


You can appeal to the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals.

This helps explain things a bit.

But that is not what happened here. These people had not served in combat. They failed a security clearance before they completed training.

Now did maybe some fail it for bad reasons? Perhaps.
And if it is true they are being denied a chance to appeal (that is apparently disputed) then that is wrong.

But that is quite different than the accusation you are making.

So can we finally stop pretending this is about "border security" and "THE LAW" and admit our government wants to stop all immigration regardless of how legal it is?

They don't want to stop all immigration - the goal is to let it happen but make it legally dangerous, so migrant workers can be used instead of native ones because of the added bonus that they can't pursue any legal protections.

i.e that recent chicken factory raid that arrested hundreds of workers. The owners aren't punished.

Considering over a million immigrate a year, no.
Also this is naturalization, not immigration. These people had already immigrated to the US.

Because 40 people failed a security clearance that would have allowed faster citizenship process (they still can apply for citizenship by other means) you cannot indeed this to mean it is an attempt to ban all immigration.

Ah, "globalist", an impossibly vague, meaningless term to describe anyone who doesn't agree with you. What does "globalist" mean? Does it mean communists? Does it mean Jews? Does it mean politicians you hate? Does it mean the media?

Because the way I've seen this term thrown around, it's all or any of the above plus many other things.

Then there's postmodernism too, another term that's ubiquitous to the point of meaninglessness.

Sure feels and sounds like as Donny Trump policy. Especially the part about stiffing people who do service for you.

Hopefully there will be less foreigners willing to join up with the U.S. military, at least while Donny is still in office.

40 people failing to get a security clearance and you automatically assume it still me conspiracy from the top? Seems a big logical leap there.

No one was discharged from service. These are potential recruits who are not going to get to serve in the armed forces because of these failed background checks.

That said, I hope these are legit failures, I like the idea of the program as military service as a path to citizenship

Also, Trump has promised that any child born to US service people overseas won't automatically be US citizens.

It's like he's trying to lower recruitment numbers or something...

There were thousands of KGB spies in the US during the cold war (and there could well be hundreds of modern Russian spies in the US today). The spies joined the military, penetrated top political circles, and became a part of the American business world. While the US and China are not as bad as Russia and the US were, keep in mind tensions are rising by the minute and it could escalate into an all out arms race not too long from now. Also keep in mind Chinese spies are quite active in the US, most notably Dianne Feinstein’s driver
