If we make being here progressively less and less attractive they will deport themselves.

If you make being here less and less attractive for illegals, it will, inevitably, become less and less attractive for legals as well.

Step four: Since these people are constantly so proudly telling us about all the taxes they pay, let’s call their bluff. To do this we immediately attach a Thirty percent ( 30%) “money transfer tax” to all wired money transactions leaving America.

Tancredo already attempted this, and it was voted down overwhelmingly. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are going to support taxing wire transfers. Even if they did, entreprenuerial types would suddenly become mules to transfer cash back over the border for 10%.

Ah, but there's lots of support for the FaiTax - it has over 50 cosponsors and a lot of grassroots support. Not only will it make being an illegal alien less attractive (for the illegals), it will make it MORE attractive for citizens as it will help the economy boom.

This is very clear from spending a bit of time on the FairTax website.
