The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job and a quick route to becoming an American citizen.
The U.S. military is made up of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Here's a quick look at each service branch and its creation.
"It is one thing to hear about the military from locals here, but it is something else when it's from your fellow brother, from the country you’re from," said Bidari, who was contacted by Army Staff Sgt. Kalden Lama, the Dallas recruiter, on a Facebook group that helps Nepalese people in America connect with one another. "That brother was in the group and he was recruiting and he told me about the military.
The shortfalls have led to a wide range of new recruiting programs, ad campaigns and other incentives to help the services compete with often higher-paying, less risky jobs in the private sector. Defense leaders say young people are less familiar with the military, are drawn more to corporate jobs that provide similar education and other benefits, and want to avoid the risk of injury and death that service in defense of the United States could bring.
The Air Force effort began this year, and the first group of 14 graduated from basic training and were sworn in as new citizens in April. They included recruits from Cameroon, Jamaica, Kenya, the Philippines, Russia and South Africa. As of mid-May there were about 100 in basic training who had begun the citizenship process and about 40 who had completed it.
