When they pay more, regular citizens pay less. Create a totally seperate and higher tax bracket for illegal immigrants.
Ask yourself this -
1- Does it REALLY make economic sense to deport all illegal immigrants? I submit it does not.
2- Does it REALLY make sense to put all of them in prison and waste even more resources? I submit it does not.
3- THEREFORE - the smart way to solve this problem is to turn something negative into positive. Grant them all a slow path to citizenship, but with a catch.
For instance, if a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident alien is taxed at 25% on $75,000, then the illegal immigrant would get taxed at 35% on $75,000 for the next 20 years.
Constitutional? Uncertain. What is certain is that we have a national debt to pay off.
