IIRC, this is exactly how it worked at Ellis Island for quite a while - 1 in every x off the boat were shipped to fight.

Also - it's completely tautological to say "Learning a second language can help your career" - that's essentially saying "Additional skills make you employable." This does not, in any way, add to any argument on this point (or any point relating to immigration, for that matter) - for every example relating to Spanish, we could switch it to any other language and it would still be correct.
