Yardum-Hunter letter to the Editor published by Immigration Daily from ilw.com as follows:

Dear Editor:
Given the financial crisis, it seems to me that President Elect Barack Obama can sell the notion of comprehensive immigration reform to include regularization of undocumented workers by making clear that it is in our nation's interest to make it easy for such people to pay their taxes and contribute to decreasing our nation's deficit. If you consider the figures including the number of undocumented workers who earn taxable income who do not pay into the system because they believe they cannot or just do not, how much they earn and their tax rate, you're talking about billions of dollars. The government needs that money now and Obama should pitch the American people if necessary. This is a common sense approach not tied to ideology, which is how he has said he intends to approach problems.
