Answer 1

I.D. theft. As if breaking into the country wasn't enough. Not to mention trespassing, and driving without licenses or insurance.

Answer 2

OK, HERE'S MY NEUTRAL VIEW.
Without being pro or anti- immigration or harboring any feelings of resentment at immigrants/sentiments for immigrants/sentiments towards citizens:

It's how immigrants get by. The pros: they follow the law. The cons: they get into trouble with the law. Challenging indeed. Society needs more structure.

Like Diaz, who says:
“I’ve been talking to other people who’ve done it, and I want to follow the law,”


AND HERE
..."millions of illegal immigrants find themselves collaborating with one federal agency — the Internal Revenue Service — while trying to avoid another — Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Answer 3

Is this a great country or what, you have a class of people that get to pick and choose what laws they deem worthy of obeying

Answer 4

There might be a few paying taxes. So what. Not enough to absorb their cost. The big deal is that they are ILLEGAL. They are criminals.

Answer 5

So, until now they have been paying taxes using someone else's SSN -- but the money still goes into the tax coffers.

Now, they actually want to pay taxes legally -- and people are still vehemently against allowing them to pay taxes?
