From CAPS today (first action item):

ACTION ALERT - Do you agree backdoor citizenship is a bad idea?

Help stop the ENLIST Act amnesty!

Ask your Representative to oppose the HR 60 amnesty!

HR 60 would give Legal Permanent Residence (LPR) status to those who entered

the U.S. illegally at age 15 or younger and have been continually present in

the U.S. since 2013 if they join the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast

Guard.  They would then be on a fast track to citizenship.

There are a number of problems with this approach.  First, like all

amnesties, it will encourage more illegal immigration, in this case by

minors, the most vulnerable and most at risk from harm during the trip to

this country.

Second, there is no need for this legislation. Some citizens and legal

residents are now turned away when they seek to enlist because they fail to

meet entry standards.

Third, this is a risk to national security and our military personnel. Those

motivated by this enticement may not have the same commitment to serve

America. Moreover, it will be difficult to perform background checks on

someone who has been in the U.S. for just a few years.

Tell Congress to oppose the ENLIST Act, a bad immigration policy and bad

military policy.
