Selective service updating records

They claim that it's just routine, but boy, what amazing timing, eh? After Bush flat-out promised in his campaign that there would be no draft.

And is it just me, or does the draft by design target poor people? From the article:

“Back in 1982 a federal law was passed that basically linked federal grants, student loans and federal assistance to students with Selective Service,” Flahavan said. “You had to register with Selective Service with a Social Security number (in order to receive federal assistance)

According to the stats at the end of the article, every male between 18 and 25 has to register, not just those asking for federal funding for schooling, but I wonder what mechanism is in place to ensure the sons of the wealthy are registered.

Surprisingly, even non-citizen male aliens have to register with Selective Service. So presumably a 20-year-old Canadian man could be playing hockey in the States and get drafted? Can that be right?
