"hmmm, a rather cheap price for citizen. Now we know we are worth only $2,000. Perhaps that's all the taxes we should pay."
The article doen't state that they are paying $2000 for citezenship, it states that they are paying $2000 for a guest-worker visa.
What it says that they pay a $2,000.00 "fine" and are eligible for permanent residency in 6 years. The point is the illegals get to buy their way into legal status. That's simply not acceptable.
