The Senate immigration bill’s authors acknowledged Tuesday that their legislation does not require illegal immigrants to pay all back taxes, saying it would be too difficult to make them ante up everything they might owe.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is chief sponsor of the bill, said illegal immigrants by definition are living in the shadows, and requiring them to reconstruct their pay history could be tough — and potentially keep many of them from legalization.
“We all realize that the system is broken. We all realize that people did wrong things. And the goal is to set this right by letting those in the shadows come out,” Mr. Schumer said Tuesday as the Judiciary Committee plowed through more amendments to the 867-page immigration bill. “The worry I have here is that by being as rigid … as this amendment is, that it will delay and prevent many, many people from coming out of the shadows.”
The issue of back taxes is an emotionally charged part of the current immigration debate.
Mr. Schumer and the other members of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” who wrote the immigration bill have said the legislation requires illegal immigrants to pay “a fine and back taxes,” and that is true — up to a point.

They are still running that absurd, lying amnesty promoting ad with Ryan and Rubio during Rush’s show. And during the past couple of days, the Gang of Ocho has put the lie to just about everything in the ad.
No, not Rubio.....the POS.
” They are still running that absurd, lying amnesty promoting ad with Ryan and Rubio during Rush’s show. “
Rush could stop this, but apparently, he doesn’t care to stop it.
I have run into illegals on construction crews. The North Carolina tags on the vehicle tipped me off. These guys are here to get rich in 10-15 years and go home. That is it. These guys do not want to stay here. I have been told that by at least 3 illegals. They want to get rich and go home. They use welfare and work under the table. They will never sign up for this scheme.
That’s an excellent question.
With this immigration bill our elected officials are representing a minimum of 11 million (probably will wind up more like 25 to 30 million) illegal aliens that are law breakers. Many of them are actually criminals who’ve committed misdemeanors and felonies.
Many say we can’t deport these people for various reasons and one is the expense. Yet if this bill passes it will cost taxpayers many trillions to give amnesty to these law breakers, it’s really frustrating.
Any elected official voting for amnesty should be voted out of office in their next election...Period.
In the meantime, Obama Crime Inc. runs amok.
BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THEY WOULD GO AFTER ANY CONSERVATIVE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I WE KNOW MANY, MANY DEMOCRATS HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING THEIR TAXES BUT THE IRS ISN'T BOTHERED WITH THAT.
You are part of our first line of defense against amnesty and 33 million work permits for foreign job seekers over the next 10 years and your help is needed this week. You have a Senator(s) on the Senate Judiciary Committee that will vote on S. 744 tomorrow, Wednesday, May 22.
Please phone your Senator TODAY
800-843-6735
All you have to say is something like:
"My name is _______ from ________. I'm calling to ask the Senator to please vote NO on S. 744 when the Judiciary Committee votes on final passage this week."
You wanna bring the cheap labor and votes out, then let the Democrats fund AMNESTY out of THEIR pockets, not OURS!
They need to add a box to check, for us, so we can claim we’re Illegals, and we don’t wanna pay taxes; we just want Los Freebies.
What bill?
Ohaha will x-out and add whatever Third World pressure groups/govts want-—in exchange for votes.
They never were going to pay back taxes. It was just a lie to try to make the bill more palitable for the masses. The rejection of amendment after amendment that would have actually made some headway in stemming the tide of illegals shows precisely what this bill is and always has been about-creating voters for the Democrat Party and the four useful idiots from the GOP side are just too stupid to see it.
Oh...that's right....it only applies to Blacks, Muslims, Faggots, and Dykes......Never mind.......
You’re precisely right on all points.
The Gang is only interested in amnesty and they even stated before amendments were started that they didn’t want any amendments that would hamper the passage of the bill.
I believe our four useful idiots think they may get some of the Hispanic vote by doling out amnesty, in my view they’re nuts.
As I said before, “It’s all about the benefits”.
Would the federal government forgive you if you were behind on your taxes?
BUMP!
Does any citizen ever get a reprieve from back taxes because "it would be too difficult"?
Many of the same politicians and pro-illegal people who say the task of locating and deporting 11 (or 25 or 30) million illegals is so overwhelmingly huge and costly that it cannot be done, think it is perfectly reasonable for the government to register and track something like 300 million guns in the hands of citizens.
Many of them also think it is perfectly reasonable to print some kind of an ID code or serial number on every cartridge and bullet in the USA and to maintain a data base capable of tracking them back to the purchaser or owner.
A search on the web for the amount of ammunition sold annually in the USA gives a figure of about 10 to 12 billion per year. That leads me to believe there must be a stockpile of a trillion rounds or so already in the hands of citizens.
So some government officials think they can track and account for billions and billions of small, inanimate gun cartridges that just quietly sit there in an ammo can - not creating any kind of paper trail or data record.
But they swear we cannot find 11 million illegals who walk around, shop, use credit cards, drive cars, sign rental agreements and bank loans, cash checks, go to school and college, register for welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, get medical care, get tax refunds from the IRS, buy international money orders, have eMail accounts and receive mail through the US Post Office. Many illegals also have encounters with the law and their names are already know to ICE and law enforcement agencies.
PS - This is the same government that is building a data center in Utah capable of tracking and maintaining a record of every e-Mail, Tweet, digital message and telephone call made in the USA EVERY DAY.
not only does Rush call Rubio a true conservative but I recently heard Levin call Rubio ‘My good friend’
Guess they think he might be the candidate in 2016.
