Quote:Then punish people for hiring illegals, too.

 

You are correct that a lot of illegals do odd jobs for cash, but you don't fix that problem with a bad tax change that shifts all the burden to the poor and middle class.

 

Impossible.

 

You are going to require anyone who hires a guy to mow his lawn to provide proof that he's a citizen or resident?  Does the general public have access to IAFIS and IDENT federal government computer systems?

 

If not, all the person that did the hiring has to do is not confess and say that they didn't know.  

 

It would be nearly impossible to prosecute private individuals and very difficult to fine them.
