The people whose legal status is affected by this bill should be no different. If they have worked in our country illegally. they should not get a freeride when it comes to paying the tax obligations they have avoided for the time that they have been here. Undocumented aliens who seek to assimilate into our society and want to become American citizens have high hurdles to overcomeand that is the way it should be. Those who want to become a part of our great country must come out of the shadows. tell us who they are. pay heavy fines. return to their country. learn English. consistently hold a job. follow the law. and they should also have to pay their tax obligations. There is no doubt that these requirements will be difficult to achieve for those seeking adjusted statusboth practically and financially.
