Here is my problem with a "pathway to legal status" and it is something I would like Mr. Paul to explain.

Will these "legal residents" pay local, state and federal taxes?

If not, why not?

If so, how can we have people required to pay taxes and have no representation in the government which imposes the taxes.

Where the founding fathers wrong when they said "No taxation without representation."

Or is Mr. Paul wrong when he advocates permanent legal status WITH taxes and WITHOUT representation?

They both can't be right.

Permanently legal doesn’t mean citizen.

We don’t give representation to those paying tariffs, either, or sales taxes with tourists from foreign countries.
