Conversely there is no truancy requirement laws in those jurisdictions whose laws do not guarantee a public education for resident aliens for those same people. In other words, nowhere FORCES you to go to school if you're not a citizen that doesn't GUARANTEE you a chance to go to school if you're not a citizen. I don't want to hear about resident aliens tax situation though, because it's alot more complicated than people want to make it out to be. It's also not the problem with the current tax system.
The problem is that most of the migrant worker illegal aliens have NOT learned our language, do NOT care for our culture and do NOT want to become a coexistent part of society. They are here as symbiotes who feed off of our system, providing cheap labor in return for untaxed dollars that can be funneled into the central/south american country of their origin. All the while they claim to have no income and recieve as many government handouts as they can manage to qualify for. The number of "unemployed" mexican-american "work visa" holders in COBB COUNTY alone who are recieving unemployment and have been busted for working out of the parking lot of a home depot in this year is proof of that. Nobody ever said that because the migrant worker illegal aliens refused to speak english that they were stupid because it was true. They're racists. The hispanic migrant worker has figured out that the american government will cater to their needs if they cry for help all the while they hold a steady $6-$7 an hour job (60-70 Pesos an hour at current rates) that they send straight back to Mexico. These Migrant workers aren't working for any big business. They aren't working for a corporation who has to worry about filing paperwork on them. They're working for contractors who use them as contracted day laborers. It's on the worker to claim their income to the IRS, and it becomes almost on the honor system that these workers claim anything, since the only "contract" that is used is a verbal agreement and cash-in-hand at the end of the day. Those are the people who are creating problems for the mandatory-admission emergency medical care community who are doing births for now-american-citizen anchors but are never recieving any kind of compensation because the parents disappear into the breeze without any kind of Social Security number to even track.
People in YOUR situation need a VIABLE WAY TO BECOME AMERICAN CITIZENS. The Migrant Workers in this country DO NOT EVER WANT TO BE AMERICAN. They want to make money here, send it home so they have a good life, save all that money, and eventually go home to live it big. They are living their version of the American dream, and with the CURRENT system they create huge problems.
All of this goes away if you do away with the Income Tax, Social Security, and all the government oversight that comes with massive hand-out systems funded by tracked income systems. Switching to a different form of income collection based on something easier to track and enforce (Such as, for example, a retail sales tax collected by the retail point of sale system, or a tax on a government controlled neccessary good, like the Stamp Tax the british implemented here that helped to start the revolution) means that the Migrant Workers who are behaving the exact same way they are now, suddenly become legal workers who nobody has any problem with. Every american can do what they're doing and not worry about being arrested or facing massive fines from the IRS for tax evasion. The problem isn't the Migrant workers who have figured out how to game the system. The problem is the system that allows people to game it at all. All the supports of Obama want to see government in charge of healthcare, something that is and should always be the responsibility of those who want to stay healthy, and yet they have NO ANSWERS as to how to make the government ACTUALLY DO WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB. That is to enforce the laws that are on the books.
We don't LIVE in a Democracy. We live in a Representative Republic based on the RULE OF LAW. If 51% of the people in a democracy wanted to see every black person put back in slavery, then that becomes what the country's laws are. Instead America is not based on mob-rule, something the Founding Fathers figured out was exactly as dangerous as the people who fought the revolution for them.
Edit: A note about the wages, for some perspective. A 10 hour day in America at $6 an hour amounts to over 600 Pesos. The average daily wage in Mexico, according to their own government, is around 200 Pesos. This means that in a six day week, a migrant worker can work a whole month's average wage, and still have Sunday to be a good Catholic. In 10 years of being in America at the pitiful price of $6 an hour, a Migrant Worker could make a whole LIFETIME'S pay in Mexico. When you talk about other central-american countries like Nicaragua or Panama, the situation looks even better for Migrant Workers. These people aren't stupid, they are economic geniuses. I wish there were Jobs in England right now, I'd be hopping a merchant marine boat to try and earn some dough now. Of course another way to end the Migrant Worker phenomenon is to crush our currency into smithereens the same way the Japanese did, and turn our economy into an export economy. Then we'd have a rock-solid economic powerhouse that took a blow bigger than what caused the great depression in America and still stand. Not that long ago their stock market crashed far worse than ours ever did, and yet their economy essentially "Couldn't get any worse" and they bounced right back up from it to where they are now.
