They pay about $2 billion in taxes every year. This is a good article that debunks the myths surrounding DACA.

If the are outstanding citizens, then they should return to their home countries, and apply for a Green Card. Should be no issue for them to come here legally.

If not, then they are no better than the vast majority with bastard babies living off the government.

Still didn't answer my question....how do they file taxes? Pay taxes? (other than sales) Register for selective service (which has to be proven before filling out the FAFSA for a male)? I had to send in a copy of my son's birth certificate even back in 1985 to get him a social security number..... Go ahead... explain this one to me.....

LOL Even criminals pay taxes.

Did you actually expect them to be objective on what they state.

I don't know HOW they pay for taxes, just that they do. That's not my milieu.
