NAME: Marco Gomez-Camarena, Washington D.C.
TITLE: Immigrant Soldiers for the United States of America
MAJOR AREAS TO BE AFFECTED: Military Enrollment, Immigration, America
SUMMARY: “The solution to the immigration debate does not lie in creating more barriers or naturalizing immigrants. The solution is as follows: undocumented immigrants who have met the proper requirements shall be enlisted into the military. While this solution may be deemed as sending immigrants to die, it will create an influx of much needed soldiers fighting for incentives while also creating a more patriotic future citizen.”
