So we have countless men crossing the boarder with no belongings and no homes and no jobs. Why don't we create a program where illegal immigrant men and women sign up to a course to learn English after which they are put into the Military for service and only at the end of that service do they earn US citizenship. This would help the military with needed numbers and it would help assimilate immigrants into American values. If the Immigrant doesnt want this path we can deport them back to their country.

Foreign citizens already join our military and some already use their service to become citizens. Over 30 years ago I served with a Canadian, a Pakistani, and Mexican citizens in my unit. I believe all of them went onto become citizens.
More than likely anyone coming across the southern border would have zero chance of passing the screening process to enter the military for a variety of reasons. I suspect the reasons would range from literacy to criminal records.
Sadly, I'm not sure our DEI military has any such standards anymore.
