They're making an effort to pay their taxes knowing they miss out on a number of benefits, helping our system remain viable instead of trying to work under the table. The solution is finding a pathway to citizenship, not promoting working under the table and not paying taxes.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that.  I have another friend, who works in HR.  He says that most of his Latino men readily trade family insurance benefit, for an extra couple dollars on the hour.  He said that most of them aren't legally married to their "wives", so that they can put her and the kids on Medicare.  (that may not still be the truth, today.  This was a convo from years back)  Immigrant people aren't stupid, they play the system to their maximum benefit.

So, your assertion that they are contributing to a system that they receive no benefit from, is at best a push.
