The illegals who will never become citizens, never be allowed to vote, and never collect general welfare benefits would still have to come out of the shadows and identify themselves. Upon identifying themselves they would be eligible for a green card and the legal ability to work and pay taxes. This is not new, there already are plenty of legal visa holders who are not citizens and who work and pay taxes. These legal visa holders are not eligible for general welfare benefits just as non citizen illegals would not be eligible for general welfare. If someone thinks to commit fraud, this is a crime and should result in deportation. If someone like this can not make it with their own resources or with the help of friends/ family and private charity, they should return to their country of citizenship. Obviously all of the elements of the immigration bil need to be strictly enforced and a repeat of the current situation must be avoided at all costs.
Whatever happened to ‘no taxation without representation?’ If they are paying taxes, they will get the vote.
