[Marxism] US military recruiting illegal aliens



US military recruiting illegal aliens
Sat, 29 Dec 2007 03:55:18
Mexican citizen groups claim the US army is recruiting illegal
immigrants from Mexico to send them to the war in Iraq.

According to Prensa Latina on Friday in Culiacan, the capital of the
northern state Sinaloa, civil activist Ildefonso Ortiz Cabrera told
reporters that US military officers use young men of Latin American
origin to recruit for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ortiz Cabrera reported about his own experience in Phoenix, Arizona,
where army recruiters suggested he go to a military base, instead he
decided to return to El Burrion, his town in Sinaloa.

Many illegal Mexican immigrant families in the US have been persuaded
to return to their places of origin, because of fear that their
adolescent children are to be recurred to go to war.

It's commonly asserted in Mexico that the US military uses
minorities, including Hispanics, as cannon fodder.

The governor of the Mexican state of Zacatecas recently made the
astounding declaration that 70% of the US military is black and
Hispanic - with 40% being of Mexican origin.
