I’m on the side where I want to keep track of them and tax them, but I don’t want to give them a driver’s license that allows them to cross the border, or use it to get other benefits like disability, welfare, unemployment, vote, etc. If you want these things, become a citizen, or at least get a freakin’ visa!
Now, if their plan all along is to tag and bag them, then I am all for it. But I doubt that’s the case. There are millions of people that have made it here legally, and get the benefits of the effort they put into becoming a citizen. There is no reason that, just because they made it here undetected, that they should be granted these same rights.
And how much tax money comes from someone making a couple dollars an hour?
