I didn't hear anyone talk about paying taxes but then I guess that would be difficult to do if you're here illegally. Also, I wondered why someone who's teaching people to pass their GEDs spoke through a translator. Was she teaching them in Spanish?

How do we reconcile that some people can come here and work and not pay taxes with the fact that some other immigrants come here legally and work hard to pass the test to become citizens? Some immigrants I know think it's not fair and resent that they pay taxes and illegals don't.
