I wonder what they would fill out on their 1040 for "permanent home address" ??? Employers withhold federal and state taxes based on W-4 forms, and I've never seen an option that says: "do not withhold taxes - I'm an illegal alien"! The IRS is one organization that no one - not Al Capone - and certainly not any foriegner can easily escape. Also, anyone that doesn't pay property taxes simply loses their property (i.e. ever heard of government property auction sales?).
