Summary
An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.
Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.
Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.
Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.
How the fuck do undocumented immigrants join the military? I feel like that’s only possible because the military explicitly set up their policies to allow it.
Neither the article or the summary say anything about undocumented immigrants joining the military.

No they cannot. You must be a legal resident and have a green card to join any branch.

Why are you trying to have an imaginary argument? Are you that bored…
What argument? They stated an interesting fact (citation needed) relevant to an earlier post. This is what is known as “discussion”.
There’s no discussion. The article doesn’t have anything to do with employeeing undocumented immigrants.
So it’s at worst an “off-topic discussion”

The short answer is no, undocumented immigrants can’t join the US military.
Quoting from the US Army recruiter FAQ:
Can non-U.S. citizens join the Army?
That would disqualify most Americans.
People who were documented immigrants at one time, and served in the US military during that period, can become undocumented later. Military service can lead to citizenship, but the process has a lot of barriers and many people slip through the cracks. It is embarrassing as a country that we deport war veterans because they missed some obtuse paperwork deadline.
