Bush might indeed be stupid enough to suggest that, but I guarantee no one else in power is. It would destroy the armed forces altogether.
OTOH, allowing illegals to voluntarily sign up for a 6-year hitch might actually work, with the promise that completing it successfully with an honorable discharge will make them naturalized citizens. This would solve the conscription problem and please the people who are complaining that "WE jumped thru all the hoops, why don't THEY have to?" Not to mention that most of those illegals would probably make better money in the service than they're making at wherever they're working...
