Understanding the history of military service by immigrants, as well as the legal barriers to the enlistment of skilled foreign-born residents, leads us to clear policy recommendations for President Trump and Congress to consider. Today, approximately 40,000 immigrants serve in the armed forces, and approximately 5,000 noncitizens enlist each year. As of 2016, about 511,000 veterans were foreign-born. Throughout U.S. history, many immigrants have served with distinction and are among those who have received the highest military honors. More than 20 percent of Medal of Honor recipients are immigrants. Going forward, the net growth in the U.S. population of 18- to 29-year-olds — the segment of the population most likely to enlist — will come entirely from immigrants and the children of immigrants. With the economy having recovered from the recession of the late 2000s, for the military to recruit young people successfully, each military branch must have access to the largest potential pool of qualified candidates.

  • Clinton Romesha Red Platoon Pdf
    Clinton romesha red platoon pdf Continue NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only comprehensive, first-hand account of the fourteen-hour shootout at the Battle of Keating Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesh, for Black Hawk Down readers Mark Bowden and Lonely Survivor Marcus Luttrell. It's no better. For us, this phrase nailed down one of the basic truths, perhaps even an important truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so evident to every soldier who ever set foot in this place, that the very name - Keating - became a kind of backhand joke. In 2009, Clinton Romesh of the Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Squad were preparing to close Keating's command post, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the U.S. military in Nuristan and Kunar in hopes of preventing the Taliban from moving freely between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to admit what the people on earth knew at once: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant small attacks, the Taliban finally decided to abandon everything they had in Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battle - and ultimately victory - cost eight men their lives. The Red Platoon is a thrilling first-hand account of the Battle of Keating, said Romesh, who led both the outpost's defense and counterattacks that drove the Taliban back behind the wire and received the Medal of Honor for their actions.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » May 2020
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» MAY 2020 MILITARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND SACRIFICES OF IMMIGRANTS BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In his final speech as president, Ronald Reagan said, “We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people – our strength – from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” By providing opportunity, America has given much to immigrants. Throughout America’s history, immigrants have given much in return. Many immigrants have sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. In researching the past and present contributions of immigrants to America’s military, this report from the National Foundation for American Policy found: - During service in America’s wars and conflicts, 22% of the recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor have been immigrants. Recent immigrant Medal of Honor recipients include Florent Groberg (born in France), Alfred Rascon (born in Mexico), Tibor Rubin (born in Hungary) and Leslie Sabo Jr.
