1. I learned something. I learned that taxes are limited to citizens and anyone in a country illegally that pays taxes must be allowed to become a citizen. If I go to Mexico and pay taxes, will that make me or give me the right to be a citizen?
2. Last summer, according to the congressonal GAO, it wasn't the point that illegals pay taxes, it was they send it either outside our economy or cost the citizen taxpayers $55,000 each illegal for services to which most of them couldn't possibly pay in taxes.

Your link is 4 years old . Yes a few illegal aliens do pay income tax with a TIN but the few that do ,don't pay enough to make up for the majority of illegal aliens that don't pay any taxes. All TINs are not just for illegal aliens ,they are for legal business owners also. The figures are erroneous because that was not considered .Also because of the number of dependents that illegal aliens claim on their tax forms. they don't pay as much in taxes either.
The few illegal aliens that pay income tax's are far out weighed but the cost they incur to this country,ie schools,health care,infrastructure ,incarceration etc
If legal Americans don't pay their tax's they are arrested and sent to prison. An illegal alien just gets deported so he can come back in again illegally.

Yes there are illegal boader jummpers paying taxes they apply for a W-7. But they also hold fradulant soc. sec. and green cards, which where I live there is Mexican grocery store that helps to provide the documents they sell them for 150 bucks. they are allowed to claim all their kids back in Mexico on there taxes. It is not that we do not want them here, but let them live by our laws. If I did not pay taxes I would not be given amnisty. It may be hypocritical to you but , why do criminals think they should get a free ride. I say charge them double taxes.

From your link... 'About 366,000 returns were filed using individual taxpayer identification numbers in 2001, according to IRS data from that year, the most recent information available.'
Not all using an individual taxpayer number are illegal aliens, but even if they were that is NOT a 'large percentage' of them.
Further from your link. ' "I really don't think it is a smart thing for local and state governments to make it easier for illegal immigrants to reside and work and therefore stay in the United States," Dinerstein said. "It shows a total disrespect for the laws of the United States." , said Marti Dinerstein, president of the New York-based public policy firm Immigration Matters.
Where is your source for your allegation that not one-third of citizens pay taxes?

I don't care if illegals are paying 75% of their income in taxes.
The fact remains, within a decade or two ...
YOU WILL BECOME A REFUGEE!
How?
These illegal aliens are pouring into the US like a killer tidal wave and pumping out 4 babies per woman or so -- they will demographically own the United States.
Keep in mind, while you're welcoming them in with open arms so they can buy a boom box, these people will not only have their homeland Mexico, perfectly intact but they will also have now acquired the territories of what used to be the United States.
These people are ETHNO-CENTRIC. Meaning, they're proud of their race and their culture. They're only interested in advancing the cause of their people. Not yours. While you're assuming, "Why can't we all be happy human beings?", these illegals are stealing your homeland from you. They don't think the way you do. Sure, maybe 8% do. But 92% or so do NOT!
The future will be all about trying to get out of this sea of foreigners who kick you around ... and trying to find one of the remaining ethnic enclaves that matches your ethnicity.
Don't you get it?
These people are not losing their homeland, Mexico -- they're acquiring new property -- your homeland in addition to Mexico. What makes you think they'll suddenly lose pride in their race and protect your rights to a job, to vote or your legal rights?

I know, from experience, that illegals will fill out their W-4 and claim 8 or 10 exemptions. The result is that no money is taken out for state and federal taxes.

If they paid taxes, that would make them documented and legal, which they try so hard to hide from. They do not pay taxes (aside from sales tax).

Yes they do. Everyone that I know pays taxes. Everyone that I know also pays their bills as well.
I am sure there are plenty that don't and plenty that are hardcore criminals, but from my experience that's not the case.
