What does the government do if you do not sign up?

If you refuse to register, it will hurt you for future employment (you can not register after the age of 26) due to many employers requiring proof of registration. Immigrants that do not register while processing for citizenship will not be granted citizenship. You can be refused federal grants, loans (including student loans) and can also interfere with purchasing a home. It is a misdemeanor offense in most states, a felony in some.
I don't know why anyone would worry about it. There is no draft, and probably won't be, unless the protesters stop people from enlisting.

There is no, and will be no, draft!!!! If you fail to register for selective service by 28 then you are inelligble for a lot of government loans, grants, etc. If a draft were instituted & you failed to respond when selected for service then you can be sent to jail for a term longer than your military service would be & with just as much chance of getting shanked in federal prison. Or move to Canada & wait till some panzy president grants you a pardon, then come on back so I can personally kick you in the nuts. Anyway, why wait around, there's no waiting at your local recruiter. Just join the navy if you don't like getting shot at.

There is no draft.
If you refuse to register than you cannot get things like student aid, or a government job.
If you refuse the duties of citizenship - why should you get the benefits?
