Immigrants have a proud tradition of serving in the military. Right now there are thousands of men and women in uniform who weren’t born in the United States, yet they are willing to sacrifice everything for our country. The Department of Defense understands the importance of the foreign-born to our fighting forces – one of the reasons it supports the DREAM Act.
The Department Of Defense said the DREAM Act would help the military in its efforts to recruit an unparalleled all-volunteer force. In its FY2010-12 Strategic Plan, the Department of Defense set forth the performance objective “Recruit the All-Volunteer Force by finding smart ways to sustain quality assurance” and listed the DREAM Act as one of the means to do so.
The information below helps underscore why the U.S. Department of Defense believes the military is strengthened by the foreign-born.
