As far as I am concerned, as long as they do not take any benefits or rights that citizens have, they can stay and not pay taxes (since they aren't doing anything that warrants taxes).

As soon as they start taking those benefits, they should take steps towards citizenship and begin paying taxes.

I have no problem with illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrants I have met and worked with have all been hard working, good people trying to make a living. The problem comes in their children. Their children (on average and from my experience) do not understand the value of hard work for a day's pay. They think that because they are here they should be handed everything. It is those children, this newer generation that causes the bad name for the rest.
