That's why they conjured up the automatic withholding stipulation, so that wouldn't happen. Sure, the business owner could, but the govt would then would come in with force and seize the business to recover their losses.

From what I've heard, a lot of illegal immigrants are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.  Law-abiding except for the illegal immigration, of course.

Good! that will help everyone, I see that if 11,000,000 undocumented people become documented, there will be 11,000,000 more tax payers, that would make things more cheaper for all of us, I work for a financial Magazine for TIME'S in NY, and as the economy in the U.S. is really going down because of the national debth, sending them back would be a mistake because more money would be spent and the U.S. could be in another depression, right know this country is in recession, and believe me!! we don't see it this way but it's dangerous.\nIf they start paying taxes, that would make more benefits in the employment area and wages would definitly go down, don't  we hate pay those high GAS prices?, what about if mortages rates aren't locked and all the suden go up in interest rates?, wether we like it or not, some bussines that hire hispanics in majority, probably will shut down and the"jobs that they are taking" would not be avaliable for neither one's , born americans or undocumented ones.\nIf the senate make a wrong decition whithin this two weeks, we all will pay the concecuences, and just like always happen; it will be too late if they regreet it.\nmy personal opinion is that they should legalize them all if possible, that will help us all.

Well, eleven months out of the year would be pretty boring. People would just sit around and watch PBS. No one would really go to bars. Things would be pretty hum-drum.\n\nOne month, though, would be madness. Churches would be closed, laws would have to be relaxed, and no work would get done.\n\nIt would be very different.

It's not going to happen, the 11 mil will be legal soon, so we will need to restart the count until another 20 years where we have another amnisty.

No-One anywhere is truly free, we all have to work to earn money to pay taxes, even those of us that live in a democratic country are  not truly free because all major decisions are made by those in power, we may be able to vote who gets the control of our country but they will decide what happens to it.

We are talking about 11 or 12 million people.  No matter how good our government can be there is no way that we will ever round them up and deport them.  First of all we can not afford to,the cost of sending 12 million people back to where they come from would eat up a lot of taxes.  That does not count having the manpower or facilities to hold them while processing is going on.  The bad thing about a blanket amnesty is that in many cases only the breadwinner of a family is now here, if allowed to stay they most certainly will want to bring their families over here as well.  Yet the only way our government can save face with the problem is to start over with new rules and more manpower to fight the problem and I am afraid that means giving an amnesty to those that are currently here.  They may try to call it a work for citizenship or residence program, however it will be an amnesty program anyway no matter how you look at it.

Simple. People already don't get out and vote. Voter turn out is always poor. So if we charge even less people will turn out and vote.

Taxes dont work like that..a government/public service is not a choice which benefits just yourself, it benefits the community. You cant say ' i dont want to pay such and such' because someday, you will us that service, and whing when you have to pay! Its a duty we all have to pay , wether we like it or not
