Yes. Its real simple. If Illegals have somehow made it on US soil then they have to pay taxes. None of this work under the table and send your money back to your family in Mexico BS. You live here, you get free health care, dental, food stamps, etc. You have to pay taxes period. All of us citizens do and if you want to be one...Guess what...you got to pay taxes.

Three points for you:
1) Immigrants send money home to their parents for a variety of reasons including supporting such family members. It also has been done since the time this country was founded. Case in point was the Iirsh. Those that got jobs in the US after they arrived saved enough to have the rest of their family come.

2) USCIS immigration is one of the most complicated laws on the books, more complicated than the tax laws. That being said, Allowing businesses and the government to recruit immigrants from beyond the borders, and with government blessing, would go a long way in help solving the problem of illegal immigration. The other way would be economic aid directed at improving the economy of Mexico without glutunous greed from the carpetbaggers.

3) The underground economy is estimated at $1 trillion dollars or more. Most of it is done by US citizens. I know, I busted, or should say, audited a few thousand. This includes babysitting, extra income on fixing the car outside of your employment as a mechanic, black market illicit drugs and sex trade, and so forth while not reporting the income. But all groups, whether rich or poor, do tax evasion for one reason or another. It is not as one sided as you think.
