I mean you're wrong, with an IRS issued ITIN undocumented immigrants pay federal taxes amounting to $6 billion a year...
This is a well formed counter for my tax argument.
That said, I question how many illegal immigrants are actually going through these processes as opposed to ones who dont do it because they are afraid of ICE.
Creating a registry for illegal immigrants isn't a solution.
Easy and cheap road to citizenship is a solution.
No disagreement, but the fact so many sign up despite the risk is pretty amazing. It completely destroys the don't pay taxes, don't want to contribute argument, Most hope by doing this they will prove they want to be law abiding citizens when it comes to a hearing.
