Most, if not all, DACA recipients also receive an Employment Authorization Document and are issued a tax payers ID#. They can legally work and should be paying taxes. That doesn't mean some of them may work under the table and their pay is not recorded, but that also happens with Americans. Just FYI, even adults that are flat out illegal and have a deportation order but may have an appeal can get work authorization. There are many reasons non-immigrants, including those that are illegal, can get work authorization.

SFC Dave Beran - Children born in the US of illegal parents are US citizens. Many do not agree but it is covered in the 14th Amendment, regardless of what is thought to be the intent. DACA covers kids that were brought here as kids either illegally from the get go, and those that came legally and are visa overstays.

SSG William Bowen - sad. Sit there and correct people who support things Glad I am not you.

I am not even sure what you mean? Your statement of "Congress would not pass a law making children born here of illegal immigrants parents" is confusing. I was just pointing out that DACA does not refer to children born here. Maybe you meant something else and it didn't come out like you meant? Maybe you meant to continue on with "eligible for some type of legal status"? I was not trying to be demeaning in anyway. If I do see statements that are incorrect, I do interject with my opinion, as that is the whole purpose of discussion/debate. I see a lot of incorrect and misunderstood info posted in here and I kind of have a working knowledge of immigration issues and law so I throw my 2 cents in from time to time.
