Being an undocumented noncitizen forces them to live under a constant veil of fear, uncertainty, and trepidation of deportation. Because of their lack of status, noncitizens can not legally work in New York State. While most of them do work, and some of them do pay taxes, they can not reap the rewards of being taxpayers. Most use fake or rented social security numbers in order to work delivering food, as Uber drivers, or dishwashers. Others work in restaurants preparing the very meals we all enjoy on a night out or at a business lunch. Most Americans turn a blind eye, yet complain about those dam immigrants taking our jobs. Hence they are confronted with a dilemma. They need to work to support themselves and their family, but if they do work legal jobs they risk being deported. This situation has created an awkward position because it is a fact that undocumented, noncitizens do work. This situation, as is, does not benefit them in the long term. They will never be able to apply for loans or participate as full members of the community, even if they become legal residents. This is because they will not have had a history, or track record of consistent employment. This in turn keeps them in poverty of alienation.
