Letter-writer Matt Smith (“Immigration reform will rebuild our economy,” March 26, TribLIVE), can you tell me if the 70,000 undocumented immigrants working in essential roles in the state pay taxes to the IRS/U.S. government/Pennsylvania?
Can you tell any unemployed American citizen where he or she can obtain an essential-role job? I’m sure their families would appreciate that.
Do you think the 70,000 jobs would benefit American citizens and drive down unemployment numbers in Pennsylvania?
