If taxes were paid on consumption rather than [reported] income, the illegals would demand pay sufficient to earn a living AND pay taxes - just like all the legal workers demand.

Illegals would always pay the maximum rate of federal tax on retail purchases of new goods and services. INdeed, they'd pay a higher rate than me.

Also, the underground economy would be reduced considerably with the Fair Tax.
