People who are in the country illegally do not have authorization to work. You can’t tax them at all, at least officially, without giving them the authorization to work.
Now, of course these folks are working, and either getting paid without their employers declaring them, or paying them and withholding taxes with fraudulent identities, both of which are illegal for the employer as well as the employee. So, unofficially, they may be paying taxes, but if the authorities knew they were illegal they would probably be deported, especially in today’s hyper ICE environment.
A solution like you propose would acknowledge the basic humanity of these people, which is against everything the ruling party here stands for. So it will never happen.
(Edit: see the replies downstream, most of my post is uneducated bullshit)
Some smart entrepreneur in Vietnam should convince the town where their factory us based to rename itself “America” just so Trump merch can say “Made in America, Vietnam”
I’m expecting that UFC fight to have at least one fight on the undercard that pits two ICE detainees against each other. Winner gets permanent residency (and gets to go back to their family). Loser goes straight to the Everglades. I bet they even detain fly their families in for the fight so you see the crushed look on the losers’ kids when they realize they will never see their parent again. (It will sell even more on TV if the fighters are pregnant women…)
Today’s Republicans say they want to follow the Founders’ intent, but it’s all a lie. There are only two reasons why they have this Founder fetish:
It is always convenient to be able to base rulings on the opinions of people who have been dead for hundreds of years, because you can’t ask them what they really think. I think the Founders would have had a lot to say about today’s Christian Nationalists, most of it uncharitable.
Their endgame has always been to call a Constitutional Convention, and rewrite the whole thing from scratch. Poof! Now they are the New Founders, and Precedent says they will be fetishized for another 250+ years. Imagine US History buffs of the future scrutinizing the essential writings of the new Founding Fathers: McConnell, Roberts, MTG, Sean Hannity. Future armchair historians will analyze Trump social media posts like they are the Federalist Papers! Maybe someone will make an epic musical out of them…
They want an explanation? Here is the (likely) explanation from the President of the United States to Congress:
I wanna
There you go. What is Warren gonna do about it?
Stat Trek has always had Socialist Utopia vibes. And the new stuff on Paramount+ is undeniably woke…
It’s only logical
A great Canadian philosopher once observed:
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
That’s the only way it’s gonna work, because no immigrant is going to trust this Administration at its word. These poor folks can do everything correctly, by the book, and Trump can still say “Sike! Off you go to CECOT”
It’s probably been long enough that he was about to trade her in for a newer model, anyway
Too many Latinos who are citizens from birth are still buying the lie that the Administration is only going after the “bad ones” until they get shipped to the Everglades and find out everyone in their tent also thought they were one of the “good ones” until ICE flash-banged their door down,
This seems like a trap that will enable the MAGAs to win more elections without a majority of votes…
He further found that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to “adopt an alternative immigration system, which supplants the statutes that Congress has enacted and the regulations that the responsible agencies have promulgated.”
Yet once this gets to the Supreme Court, they will argue that since the Founders never explicitly prevented the President from making his own alternative immigration system, surely it must be allowed!
Now she should apologize to Al Franken…
TACO Tuesday… On Monday!
They will do nothing about this until crypto transfers are banned…
Interesting, I didn’t know this at all. Thanks for the links.
But I wonder how much longer this program can be kept up, now that this administration has made it clear they want all these people to leave, and will dispatch masked thugs to do so. Seems like applying for one of these TINs now is basically putting a sign on your back saying “Deport Me!”
