RE :”The Senate immigration bill’s authors acknowledged Tuesday that their legislation does not require illegal immigrants to pay all back taxes, saying it would be too difficult to make them ante up everything they might owe.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is chief sponsor of the bill, said illegal immigrants by definition are living in the shadows, and requiring them to reconstruct their pay history could be tough — and potentially keep many of them from legalization.
“We all realize that the system is broken. We all realize that people did wrong things. And the goal is to set this right by letting those in the shadows come out,” Mr. Schumer said Tuesday as the Judiciary Committee plowed through more amendments to the 867-page immigration bill. “The worry I have here is that by being as rigid … as this amendment is, that it will delay and prevent many, many people from coming out of the shadows.”

Wow, they dont have to pay ‘back taxes’ because many wouldnt sign up if it was required.

Same with cutting off the free stuff(tax dollars), cant do that as they would ‘stay in the shadows’.

Who could have predicted this?? Not Rubio.

As I said before, “It’s all about the benefits”.

Would the federal government forgive you if you were behind on your taxes?
