What would happen if working Americans and businesses, en masse, refused to pay taxes until this atrocity stops? Passive resistance might at least weaken the resources bloodlessly before the real fight has to begin. This influx is going to require us to give up most of what we have anyway. Let them come and get it!
No paperwork?
That's wonderful-it will save the taxpayer money and reduce the deficit!
Obola akbar!
