HRES 516 United States House · 118th Congress

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 516 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's view that the Secretary of Defense should review Section 504 of Title 10, U.S. Code. This provision governs military enlistment rules, specifically regarding whether aliens (non-citizens) with valid employment authorization - like those holding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status - can be enlisted. The resolution requests a review to determine if current policy allows enlistment of DACA recipients under existing military regulations. It does not change law but asks the Pentagon to assess the current policy's application to this group.
