Setting aside the distinctions between a one-time incentive and an ongoing benefit, the letter is pretty funny.

why should illegals get a two year tax break? We're bribing people in order to conform with the law? Not a good precedent. And why should they get such a large tax break?

Because if they don't get a tax break they won't try to become a citizen and they will end up paying zero taxes. It may not be fair but it would increase our tax revenue and make our country better. The fairness is a small price to pay for our countries well being.

Then we send their butts packing.

If illegals need that kind of incentive to become citizens we don't need them and should not want them. Hell, just being here shows to some extent their disregard for our laws.

Less crime is also beneficial to us as a country. Should we go to high crime areas and issue checks if they promise not to kill or rob people? Even children know that once a parent offers a bribe for one thing you can bribe them for something else in the future. What a wonderful precedent, we're bribing people to follow the law. How many others will follow with their hands out as well? If you can't follow the law then you should be removed from the country. Just like a parent (a responsible one) wouldn't bribe their children by giving them money if they promise to study in school or whatever.

We aren't giving them money, we are forgiving them for a portion of past delinquencies. The IRS does it all the time with late tax payers. They may wave all the late fees in order to make it possible for someone to pay them as opposed to filing bankruptcy. In your black and white world of unobtainable ideals we would make illegals pay for all back taxes and deport them if they don't. Unfortunately we live in the real world where it is impossible to deport more than a tiny percentage of illegals and no one is going to try and become a citizen if it means paying taxes they can't afford. If this program makes America a better place by reducing all the problems associated with undocumented workers and increasing tax revenue I support it. We shouldn't make all Americans worse off because you don't think it is fair to give illegals a tax break.

So how are we supposed to determine how much they've cheated the government over this time period? Should we just accept what they say it is since most have been getting paid under the table?

Please show me an instance where the IRS has said "don't pay us the federal taxes you owe us" since we are talking about more than delinquencies.

False premise...Americans aren't "worse off" by not giving tax cuts to illegals. The failed world and practice of rewarding bad behavior. Just the start of a future trend where we reward people for bad behavior. Unfortunately this has been a liberal tenant for years now which is why many fail in this country. They know that as soon as they fail to act responsibly or within the law someone will be there to reward them for it.
