A reply to: Texas Immigrant Population

I agree with you, the issue of illegal immigration needs to be fixed, but the problem isn’t in the border. Either way with security there will always be ways to get across. With the millions of illegal immigrants that are already here we can at least give a work permit. I don’t know why people keep on saying illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes. With anything you buy you are paying taxes and when they work illegally all the taxes get taken off their pay check, and they don’t get it back at the end of the year like U.S. citizens do. There is no way illegal immigrants get welfare though because welfare is a government based program so obviously they need to check for citizenship. Illegal immigrants also work hard to earn their money and contribute highly to the economy, so why not do something to help them also.
