Will illegal immigrants support a draft?

Let us give them a taste of American/British citizenship.  Let's invite them to join the army or marines and go to Iraq and fight for the country they wish to live in.  If they live, we'll give them citizenship.  If they die, then we will give them a hero's burial.

No not yet unfortunately, i hope they pass that because these illegals are causing this country money and some might say no they are not, but the way things are going it definitely will.  Either come in legally or go away!

I hope they don't build it at all.  I'm against illegal immigration, but I think there are better ways to handle it.\n\nEnforce and update the regulations and laws that make it so appealing to cross the border illegally and then get supported by the government.... there's a start.\n\nA border fence... that will be a war zone.  I'm glad I don't live close to that.\n\nWho will be crazy enough to take a job like that?  \nMaybe illegal immigrants, but I imagine the legal ones would have NOTHING to do with THAT.  Probably more likely to be built by crazy rednecks.\n\nI♥♫→mia☼☺†

Absolutely!! Either party if they supported Amnesty aka allowing criminals to stay(illegals are breaking the law and as such are criminals)will not get my vote and I will be sure to share info about all representatives voting records for this area with all neighbors,family and friends,not getting any votes from here:)

Let us hope not.  \n\nThe question is narrowed to undocumented people and that can no longer be tolerated.  \n\nIf some thing of an aggressive nature were to occur, it would be between undocumented foreign nationals and military (active military, reserves, and even militias).  The undocumented foreign nationals would lose and all, repeat all, of them would be rounded up and deported.  This would be a direct attack on the United States.  \n\nThe fact is the United States needs in people coming into this country to work, but they must do so in a legal documented manner and they will be welcome.  \n\nThe goal now is to seal the border, and that can be done.  \n\nThose who are employers must ensure that all of their employees are legally documented and systems must be offered to these employers so that they can determine who is legal.  If they don’t do so, the penalties for the employer must be very high including jail time.  \n\nA real system for those working here as legal foreign nationals must be developed.  Those foreign nationals who wish to eventually become a citizen of the United States must work to become assimilated into the culture of the United States and that begins with learning English.\n\nAt the same time the United States must begin serious work with Mexico to assist them in building a solid economy with real jobs for their people. \n\nThose individuals who desire to acquire land within the United States to join it back into Mexico must come to understand that such is never going to occur.

the democrats will help Bush get what he wanted, amnesty for illegal aliens, They will not fund the border fence, so even though\nit's approved, there won't be money to build it,\nThe democrats and Bush will be happy.

You must register.  \n\nThere is no draft at this time so you don't have to worry.

No one will be drafted. And the war will end soon enough. At the rate of enlistment and VOLUNTEERING...there will never be a need for a draft.

Democrat (singular), to date I have only heard Charles Rangel propose this. I wouldn't worry because no one is actually going to support this. Liberals hate the military, so that leaves them out. Moderate Democrats are now and always have been opposed to drafts. Republicans have sponsored an all volunteer service for many years now. Write this off to more of Charlie's lunatic fringe mentality and stop worrying. Additionally thanks to you, your husband and your family for the sacrifices you are making to this great land of ours.

I don't think you have a choice. If you are drafted you are going, unless you want to pay some sort of penalty. Don't worry, I was confused about the same exact thing you are questioning... I asked my dad and that is what he told me. If you refuse to go over seas then you are penalized. \n\nAnd its not that people don't support the troops... they just dont support BUSH!!

Yes, the draft is often unpopular.  But also it's not necessary, and it's counterproductive!  The military does not want it.\n\nIf someone wants to enlist, they are generally free to do so.\n\nInteresting how the same Democrats who say they champion people's rights to "privacy" and "personal freedom" (abortion, same-sex marriage, etc.) are pushing a draft, the ultimate state-sponsored coercive behavior.  Seems INCONSISTENT!

Bush supports illegals immigration. Does your Congressman or Senator? Find out.

Don't believe the hype. There is not going to be a draft. There is only one nutjob who wants it,and thats Democrat Charlie Rangel. The dems just took back the senate,and the house,and they're not going to screw it up by reinstating the draft,and if for some reason they decided to commit political suicide, Bush would still veto it. It's just one nut trying to stir things up,don't worry about it.

Draft dodgers were citizens, illegal immigrants are not. \n\nConsider this: Immigration wouldn't be such an issue if they instituted National Retail Sales Tax, instead of Income Tax. With the sales tax, everyone pays. No cheating. No false documents. Just people paying according to their consumption. Imagine how those rich folks would be doing their share, by paying the sales tax on a Hummer H3? Or even a BMW H2 Hydrogen Powered Car that hits the sales floor in '08? Or fancy jewelry. Heck! That bejewelled toilet seat that J-Lo owns! Who needs stupid stuff like that?! It's time we stopped punishing good work, and placed the taxes upon consumption.

I'm not so sure that it would be a benefit to our soldiers who are currently training, fighting and giving their lives for this country.  If there is a draft you would get people who don't want to be there, who don't want to be fighting for our country and that may decrease morale of the thousands of guys and gals who have volunteered to do this.  There is no shortage of enlistees right now and I think we should go with the ones who have the courage to sign up without being drafted.  I'd feel much safer for my husband knowing that the guys who are backing him up, want to be there backing him up.\n\nYes, there are people who would do great job if they were drafted.  It wouldn't be because they wanted to but because they wanted to get back home as soon as possible.\n\nEither way, we need to support what they are doing.  \n\nHate war not wars, hate fighters not the soldiers who fight!

No.. they would just get arrested.  They don't have the 'rights' illegal immigrants have.
