The writer is, at best, misinformed, and at worst, deliberately distorting the facts. The military has been able to maintain its recruit levels for combat troops in all services, the only problems have been in getting enough support (maintenance, technical, and clerical) troops.
There have been programs for foreign-born recruits for a long time, and if you take a look around the net, you can see the news reports of mass naturalization ceremonies (especially in Iraq) for the last several years.
I served with immigrants from several nations, and never knew anyone who had problems with any of them.
