I get to stay!

Take that, you illegal aliens!  The legality pays off!  I get to stay in the country and pay taxes until next July!

Wait...

Hmm...

Maybe the illegal aliens have got it right.  They don't have to pay taxes.  They don't have to worry about getting kicked out if the PTB decide that they don't like the visa renewal application.  They don't have to renew the damned thing every year...

Nah, I like being legal.  Woot!
