My question is that if a documented worker or citizen of the US was to utilize the services of this site would they be required to pay taxes on their $10/hour wage while undocumented workers clearly would not?

My concern is that we are effectively punishing people for going through the proper channels or for being an American citizen that needs to pick up some day labor to make ends meet. I understand that this center is a response to the situation on the street and I hope that it is able to alleviate some of those problems but it is far from a solution.
