I agree with many critics in that this is a type of "reward", giving those that chose to stay illegal the same benefits as those who obeyed our laws and went through the proper process.
And what about the thousands and thousands of illegals who have not paid taxes, or at least have not paid their fair share. Should the Government go back seven years and ascertain just how much they earned, and send them a audit notice saying that they owe taxes, (and SS withholding), on all of the money they earned for the seven years prior to their becoming legal?
Many illegals work on construction sites and other labor intensive jobs where often paid in cash. This brings up the culpability of the employers who exploited this. Should the Government put forth a effort to find out exactly who was working these illegals, and go after them?
Of course, the answer is no. That doesn't fit into the plan that the Democrats have cooked up to insure that the future Hispanic Population's vote will always be in the Democrat's back pocket.
