Trump’s immigration agenda is now sweeping up military families

The U.S. has long given extra consideration in immigration enforcement for noncitizens related to service members and veterans. But as stories about Immigration and Customs Enforcement detaining military family members garner more public attention, some members of Congress and outside groups are worried that the administration’s crackdown will take a toll on current military members’ ability to do their job and on the military’s ability to recruit.

Rep. Salud Carbajal, a California Democrat and a Marine Corps veteran with twomilitary bases in his district, said the administration’s approach “absolutely” threatens the U.S. armed forces’ morale and recruitment efforts.

“This will certainly weigh on the minds of many of these service members, let alone those that might be inclined to serve,” Carbajal told NOTUS, pointing to a FWD.us estimate that as many as 80,000 undocumented spouses and parents of active-duty personnel and veterans are living in the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did not comment for this article.

Trying to bring awareness to the issue, and actually seeing a Marine veteran feeding his baby whose breast feeding mother was ripped away by these pigs outweighs a numerical inaccuracy.
