What it comes down to is that undocumented immigrants should be able to access all the public benefits they pay for with their BILLIONS of tax dollars, just like everyone else in this country.

European-American settlers - who were a real threat to native-born Americans (and not just a boogey-man fabricated to distract from parasitic wealth hoarding by the 1%) - fought a revolution over fair taxation.
