A lot of the deported soldiers failed to follow up on their immigration paperwork. Many got into trouble during or after service. Graduating basic training DOES NOT guarantee citizenship. Forms must be filed. I posted the links to the program before.
Most of these guys got in trouble for drugs, one of the subjects in that article talked about doing home invasions. They fucked up.
Those that don't fuck up need the wheels greased on the path to citizenship. It's still a shitton of paperwork AND most of the time programs are ad-hoc or "one time only". Fuck that. Make it a permanent program with rules that ICE and the DOD can't play fast and loose with.
The cartels have access to all kinds of low-lifes with military backrgounds: mercs, latin american SF guys, many US trained Mexican Army, Marines and SF guys who desert for a better paycheck. Hell, "Los Zetas" got their name because "zeta" is a Mexican Army radio call sign. They were trained by JSOC, but they deserted to the cartels and become a cartel in their own right.

A threefer:
Baltic governments, motivated by unease over a more unpredictable Kremlin, also want the U.S. to house the Patriot air-and-missile defense system in the region to defend against potential future threats by Russia.
TL;DR - Russia is going for a "THAAD-ski" rather than a Stealth killer. Every year we hear about anti-stealth, an every year no one cuts metal on a working system. It's the Girlfriend in Canada of anti-aircraft systems.
While a large portion of the $26.8 billion requested for modernization typically covers aviation and mission command, and still does, the Army is diverting more of its attention toward bolstering ground maneuver capability and air defense — both capabilities that would be needed if U.S. and NATO forces had to go up against a country like Russia in the European theater.

Oh, they'd stay radical, and Pence would probably make said situation even worse. And I doubt that even a Democrat could get them to cut this crap out, Obama couldn't.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
