Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Your bridge act links are wrong. You listed the 114th congress bills. We are in the 115th congress now, and bills from the 114th are already dead. Here are the re-introduced bill.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

my mistake, just edited it. thanks

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Good info! Thank you!

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

The Enlist Act is the one I see as the most possible to pass. If it does, and that's the only choice, I will go to Army as a Carpentry and Mansory Specialist, since I have experience in both of them. It would suck because I would take a 20k paid cut comparing to my job now.

The Brigde Act is not a pass to citizenship, but more people would benefit from it than the Enlist Act, plus it sort of gives hope for a broader reform in the future.

Or Trump could just grandfathered all of us in DACA and let status quo stays.

Let's see what the future holds for us.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

The enlist act won't pass the senate . It doesn't even have a senate version.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

But after 4 years you're in a permanent status and you come back and do what job you want

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

That whole thing is ridiculous. You could die and you wouldn't even be a permanent resident yet.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

True but that's the risk that some of us would take.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

I would certainly take the risk.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Wish I could, but I'm well past 30 now and legally blind without my glasses. Even if they did take me, I would be close to 40 by the time my 4 years was over. I might have tried it if this had passed when I was still in my early 20's, but it's not an option I would consider now. Still, I hope it passes for those of you that can and are willing to take advantage of the opportunity.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

I don't mean to sound like a douchebag but "legally blind" means that no glasses prescription will make your visual acuity better than 20/200. So even without glasses you can't be legally blind.

Regards, future optometry student.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

You are not taking him literally. He intended to be taken literally. Come on man.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Lol, sorry guess maybe legally blind was a poor choice of words. The rest is still true though.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

I would enlist in a heartbeat if the Enlist Act were to be signed into law. I love this country, regardless of its president or party in control.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

that's what im talking about. #Merica

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Military Enlistment Opportunity Act > Enlist Act

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

What does each give?

EAD? GC? Citizenship? TPS?

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Yeah enlist for the upcoming world war that Trump could get us into...

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Bridge and Safe Act give Provisional Protected Presence.

While the Enlist act grants a Green Card after you are honorably discharged.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Enlist Act now 68 Co-Sponsors Rep. Michael Simpson (R) and Brian Mast (R)

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

What is the next step to get this act on the table?

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.

New since last time

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

if DACA gets repealed.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

The Enlist Act, only counts if you go active duty, or reserves as well?

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Probably will state that you need to kill at least 10 ISIS combatants while at the same time being severely wounded to make sure you made a sacrifice.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Not a fan of being forced to join the military to prove "loyalty". Vast majority of us would contribute much more to society in the civilian world.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Dang 77 now? and those 9 was from yesterday when Trump said "I'll convince politician". Looking good.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

No ones forcing you to join

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

I think its good idea. just hope it passes.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Yea, I believe it is optional. More power to you if you think you will contribute more in the civilian world.

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Second that... would've went to Army if I was younger 20s... now I am hitting 30s next year... I would only consider this if for some reason DACA is repealed and there's no job opportunity...

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Two more

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

Why are we seeing sponsors coming out slowly?

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

I remember Durbin saying there are more people interested in sponsoring, but in order to show bipartisan support they wanted to introduce them in pairs (republican & democrat cosponsor).

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

1 more sponsor for Senate version as well:

Sen. Heller, Dean [R-NV]
02/17/2017

Re: Bridge/enlist/safe act thread updates.
 

But why won't they all just say they sponsor? Why one day is one. ....another day is four....another day is six.
