It is not complicated. If you live in the US, become a citizen and pay your taxes like the rest of us. If they are all such good people who want to work and be educated, then go through the proper channels to become legal.
I donโt blame people for coming here and itโs the American way to allow that, but you have to do it legally. If you are living in the country illegally there should be 2 options for you, deported or shot. There is no gray area.
the person is supposed to GTFO in that situation.
