No, thats not right. You clearly said you did not want them to pay taxes because you did not want them to gain a toehold with which to demand representation.
You are selectively editing, taking out of context, and downright fabricating statements.
Okay, let's try this again.
First, if they are not here, they cannot earn income here and thus cannot pay US social security and income taxes. Simply put, if they are not here, we have no legal right to tax them. I hope this clears up the issue of illegals not paying income taxes.
However, we do have illegals who are already here. For those who are here and pay social security and income taxes on the money they shouldn't be earning in the first place, if they remain in an illegal status, they cannot file for tax refunds. I'm fine with that because they shouldn't be here. If that's a price they have to pay, so be it.
As for paying sales taxes, I never said nor implied they shouldn't pay sales taxes. But why exactly sales taxes are an issue, I don't really understand. Sales taxes are different from income taxes in several ways. For one, sales taxes are typically collected at the point of sale, thus there is usually no direct government involvement with the payer of the taxes. For another thing, non-citizens pay sales taxes every day. For example, foreign tourists and foreign business travelers pay sales taxes on the items and services they purchase while in the US, but they don't pay US income taxes.
So your statement claiming that I "favor waiving sales tax for illegals" not only has no basis in anything I wrote, but it also makes no sense. Anyone here - citizen, immigrant, tourist, or illegal - has to pay sales taxes, will not normally directly interact with the government in the payment of those sales taxes, and will gain no special right to a "representative voice" in our affairs. If the difference isn't clear to you by now, I don't know what else to tell you.
However, if you grant licenses to illegals so as to make them pay regulatory fees, you are giving them at least a minimal right to a voice in how things are run because you have sanctioned them to legally participate. Additionally, you have given at least a partially legal status to someone who before was totally illegal. Rights will be attached to that legal status no matter how tenuous it is because legality implies rights, whereas illegality generally doesn't. That is the toehold: a preliminary legal status that over time can be expanded. And that is the reason why the pro-illegals crowd is so intent on getting legal licenses, because they know it's the first step. They aren't stupid, nor are they spending time, money, and other resources on this issue because they're bored.
