I was talking about using the tax code to punish illegals by throwing them in jail, which would discourage some to them from entering this country illegally in the first place....what about the topic don't you understand?

I would think that many, if not most illegals living in this country are not
filling their tax returns, or not declaring all of their income. Both are
crimes. Why isn't the Federal Government, or for that matter the State
Government using that law to arrest, and put in prison those who evade
paying their taxes? Anyone with an answer?
If they are working for others, withholding applies. Theoretically.
Some illegal employers will pay too low for the worker ever
to qualify for income tax, some employers will withhold and not
pay the US governments those taxes So when looking for tax
evasion in this area, cast your net wide.
Here is a case below--

Execs indicted for employing illegal immigrants
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Federal authorities have accused three cleaning
company executives of pocketing more than $18.6 million in unpaid
taxes collected from employing hundreds of illegal immigrants from
Mexico, Central America, and Haiti, according to an indictment CNN
obtained Thursday.
The money was placed by the three Rosenbaum Cunningham International
executives into "shell companies," and then was used to purchase
such "extravagant" items as beach homes and racehorses, the
document stated.
RCI Inc.'s president, vice president and controller were arrested
along with 200 of the Florida-based company's employees in a
recent sweep by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents,
the assistant secretary of homeland security for ICE, Julie Myers,
announced at a news conference.
A message on the company's voicemail said that "RCI has ceased
operations as of February 22, 2007."
The employees were arrested in 17 states and the District of
Columbia late Wednesday into Thursday as they were starting
or leaving their shifts, Myers said.
They face various immigration violations and could be deported,
she said.
The sweep stems from a 20-month investigation by ICE agents
sparked by the arrest of an illegal alien in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
Myers said.
The executives will be charged with 23 counts, including
conspiracy to defraud and harboring illegal immigrants.
The vice president and controller have already been indicted
in a federal court in western Michigan, she said.
According to the indictment, RCI hired illegal immigrants,
paid them in cash and never required them to provide
identification or fill out job applications or tax forms.
The government estimates that it was deprived of more than
$18.6 million in employment taxes as a result. Those unpaid
taxes, according to the indictment, were funneled into bank
accounts under shell companies created by the three executives.
"They used these funds to buy luxury boats and vehicles; to
purchase lavish homes in Florida and California; to acquire
racehorses and pay for their maintenance; to pay college tuition
for their respective children; to fund excessive insurance policies,"
the indictment stated.
In November 2003, according to the indictment, one of the three
executives approved a reimbursement request from one of the
company's supervisors who paid more than $3,400 for fake green
cards plus a $1,000 bonus for completing the task.
RCI Inc. provided janitorial services to numerous restaurant
chains, including Hard Rock Cafes, Dave & Busters, House of
Blues, Planet Hollywood, and Fox Sports Grill, the indictment states.
Myers said there is no evidence that any of the companies were complicit.
A spokeswoman for Fox Sports Grill told CNN that its Plano, Texas,
facility has terminated its contract with RCI after learning of the charges.
"We would never knowingly contract with a company that does not
comply with immigration laws," spokeswoman Jennifer Parker said.
"Their contract warrants that their employees have legal status."
John Gogarty, a spokesman for Hard Rock Cafe, said only two of
124 restaurants used RCI.
"As soon as we became aware of the situation we immediately
dissolved our relationship with RCI at those two locations and
will no longer retain its services," he said.
This is the latest of several recent major operations by federal
officials dealing with illegal immigration in the United States.
In December, ICE agents raided six meat-packing facilities,
targeting suspected illegal workers believed to have been
involved in a scheme that involved using false identification.
In June, a series of coordinated raids launched by immigration
agents resulted in the arrests of more than 2,100 aliens who
had criminal records, were gang members or had ignored orders
to leave the country, according to the government.
In April, federal immigration authorities rounded up more than
1,000 illegal aliens at dozens of sites and charged nine individuals
of IFCO Systems, which employed them in several states.
