As you well know I'm sure, the bulk of ILLEGAL's income goes back to Mexico, next to Oil it's Mexico's biggest revenue source. So NO TAX ASSESSED on literally BILLIONS of US Dollars every year. No income Tax, State or Federal being assessed on those wages. So it really only amounts to a mere pittance on the goods they buy to live and survive here.
So they won't pay tax under a sales tax either...

Other than you're the only one to mention illegals, what's your point?

Because more and more and more and more and more and more of them come in every day, but everyone here knows that doesn't concern you. My point is, it would no longer benefit people like you who hire them. The incentive for people like you to dodge Taxes would no longer exist. It would be out of your hands. HA! They might even expect you to pay them the same as an American would. Hell, you might as well hire an American. I know that sends chills up your (noodle) spine. Other than you attempting to argue in favor of them, what's your point? Would you be willing to put forth the argument that they are not part of the underground economy? Surely you're not that foolish? Blackbird.

The point, Looey, as you well know, is NOT the illegal income which goes back to Mexico, but the illegal income that the worker spends here for taxable retail purchases thereby generating far more tax revenue from that income than under the present tax system.

It gives a clear advantage to the FairTax.
