Ramos says 38% of the U.S. military are noncitizens, and believes thousands are being deported for non-violent crimes.
Holy shit that’s wild. I had no idea the numbers were that high. I always knew the military targeted poor people, but didn’t realize how nearly half of them weren’t citizens.

Not sure where they’re getting that number from, honestly. The actual numbers are MUCH smaller, though still non-neglible.
Tried to dig around a bit, it seems a number the military doesn’t keep very good or active track of. Seems to trend in the single percentages though.
