#1 I think the solution to the illegal alien issue is to find some bullet proof way to ensure they pay income taxes, both federal and state.

That would send most of them home.

What is the key issue is that schools, emergency rooms, public aid agencies, and law enforcement are dealing with a sector of the population that is a net consumer and not contributing to the revenue stream they are consuming.

I am unemployed and the Feds take income taxes out of Unemployment Insurance and they take income taxes out of social security...so why can't the non-citizen component of our society pay taxes?

When it is over and done with, the major complaint against illegal immigrants is the financial burden they place on the local government. Forcing compliance with tax laws would eliminate that burden and also discourage a segment from coming here...if paying taxes is not a deterent to an individual, I'd say let him or her come on in and contribute.

#2 By and large they don't earn enough to have to pay income tax - but many DO pay payroll tax. They pay Social Security into bogus accounts they can't collect against, and which the SS Admin is not interested in correcting.

#3 The "solution" is to issue guest worker visas, like Dubai does for foreign laborers. But obviously the Democrats want Mexicans to replace the existing population, so they don't want that.

#4 Once again we see the empty promise of Rule 11.

Only if they're employed on the books.

To pay equal Citizens Dividend
Only legals receive.
