You see, I simply don't care.  If their families found a way to circumvent immigations laws and bring them here, they are still illegal immigrants.  They may have skills, but if they aren't there, the skills will be taken up by other legal residents.  The military is not exempt from stupid programs - at one time, before you could hire someone, you had to justify it in writing why you didn't hire a minority or a woman.  The military is not expempt from ridiculous political antics - like transgenders in the military.  Politicians failed to realize that they they may be politically sensitive, but in the end, actually cause a bigger problem for the group.  When you work in Washington, you become very isolated and insulated from reality - so when you are sitting in at a desk in Washington, you don't see a problem with transgenders in the military (in an office setting), but you are not thinking of how it will be at a military outpost.  (that is why few generals supported the intial move to allow them)

I think this was likely an Obama initiative - he always liked to find a way to apologize for all our national "inadequacies" as liberals perceive them.
