  • No. The fact that they lack documentation means that it would be impossible to know that they had not registered for the draft, and impossible for them to register or enlist if they wanted to.
  • The answer to the question, as it is currently written, is "no". However, the Selective Service System (which would most likely be the basis for a modern military draft) requires legal immigrants, such as those who hold a "green card", to register for the Selective Service. Also, the oath of citizenship could be construed to require military service through a draft for legal immigrants. But to answer your posted question, illegal immigrants would not have to serve, as the system is currently set up. It is possible that Congress could impliment a new system of conscription, although it is highly unlikely that they would abandon the Selective Service system, and even more unlikely that the new system would include illegal immigrants.
