I mean this just kind of makes sense. No representation without taxation. If people come here illegally and don't contribute to society why should they be represented?

Last I checked illegals still pay sales tax.

Pretty sure that only goes to the state. Also, my tax burden is waaayyy higher than what I pay in sales tax.

How do they pay taxes? Sales tax barely counts. Even tourists pay that. US Citizens, and people with green cards and work visas actually have to pay that big painful chunk of taxes that comes out of our income. That goes to federal programs as well as state. Then in some states like California illegals that contribute nothing get special programs and get free fucking college. That's just not right at all.

So do tourists. They aren't counted either. But at least the tourists follow the law.
