Enlistment of aliens into US military service should always be at the military's discretion. Sometimes it is done abroad. This discretionary standard has been standard in this country since 1776, and was true of the various state/colonial militias since 1636-37.

"On 9 March 1636/7 (ref. Mass. Records 1:188) the General Court ruled that although only freemen (a political term meaning full citizenship individuals) could be elected as officers, all members of the trained band (i.e. those males required to both own weapons and to attend the musters) could vote in the company elections provided that they had taken the oath of loyalty to the General Court known as the "residents' oath."

Most every country with significant armed forces have allowed enlistment by foreigners abroad during wartime, and have for several thousand years.
