After all, women give birth, while on active duty, so that is an extra medical cost. And I'm sure he could come up with a few more 'rationalizations' for why females are a drain on military resources. Everything he is doing is irrational and vindictive, so nothing, and I mean NOTHING would surprise me.

According to Kolb, eltrumpf will continue allowing immigrants to serve in military in exchage visa/citizenship...fast track to citizenship.
.... That is, until he does't, depending where the wind blows! Ps. Fast track to citizenship requires one year of continual service. A list of requiremts and additional information can be found @CitizenPath.

Remember, this is Trump tweeting. Just because he says something doesn't mean it's so. He's just as likely to say something completely different tomorrow. This tweet was just a play to quiet Session's right-wing supporters. It's not important for placating Session's supporters that he actually DO something - they're happy enough for Trump to simply spew some hate.
