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"

The more I think about it, the more I could go for that. There is much less chance for the politicians to steal more than necessary.

SS# verification system

Read post 100 by helper. It takes so long for the government to get back to employers that illegals simply jump to a new job by the time the employer is informed the the SS# is no good. This process apparently takes 6 to 9 months. Outrageous! Whatever it costs this process should be sped up. It should take no longer that it does to use a debit or credit card at your local grocery store.

After a tenuous beginning on this thread, I think we're at least in the same chapter, if not on the same page.
