Now we need a leftist judge in Austin to declare this law unconstitutional per the (200 page) Texas Constitution. Or maybe someone can take it to a Federal District judge in Hawaii who will say the new Texas law harms Hawaii and is therefore unconstitutional.

It's not necessary to be a citizen to join the US Armed Forces. Not sure what you have to say when you join. Not sure what's asked.

Never ever did I say or imply that you had to be a citizen, but you do have to swear under penalty of perjury that you are LEGAL.

Correct. You also may not (legally) join the US military if you are illegally in the country. You would have to perjure yourself somewhere in the enlistment papers when asked about your citizenship/residence status. And you can never be an officer without first being a citizen.

Amazing....If you manage to get through an enlistment as an illegal alien and get an honorable discharge, the Feds should give you legal status just for being able to fool them.

Isn't Strauss going to block it from coming up in the State House?
