What part of "revenue neutral" for citizens who pay withholding and file income tax returns don't you understand?

Look, I agree that a VAT or a flat tax scheme of some sort is preferable to the current system. But not in addition to. Additional taxes may very well make the "best and brightest" immigrants choose a country with a less oppressive tax structure. However, illegals will not care.


Some have pointed to a SS# verification system prior to employment. A great idea and essentially already in place. Currently employers are routinely notified that an employees SS# does not jive with IRS records. The presenter of this number generally just moves on down the road to start the process over again at a new job.


All that is needed is a pre-qualification system. Every current and prospective employee gets screened. This means all temp/day labor centers as well. ANYONE hiring an Illegal or circumventing the system is subject to asset forfeiture. Cash rewards for whistle blowers to make things interesting.

Now that's "A Probable Solution for Illegal Immigration"

Ya know, it is impossible to reason with you so I won't. I guess having been an accountant for 25 years, it is just impossible for me to understand 'revenue neutral'. There is no such thing as revenue neutral, EXCEPT in your own mind. If you understood economics you would understand how ridiculous your term 'revenue neutral' is.

I wish you well... good bye.
