Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Secretary of Defense should review section 504 of title 10, United States Code, for purposes related to enlisting certain aliens in the Armed Forces.

HRES 994 is a resolution urging the Secretary of Defense to review section 504 of title 10, U.S. Code, which governs military enlistment of aliens. It specifically requests an assessment of whether current policy permits enlisting immigrants holding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) employment authorization - a status created by a 2012 DHS memo. This resolution does not change military eligibility rules but asks for a formal review to determine if DACA holders could be recruited. It directly affects the Department of Defense’s enlistment procedures and potential recruitment of immigrants with DACA status.
