      <![CDATA["seriousish: Your links lead to a liberal opinion piece..."<br>
<br>
It's only a liberal opinion piece because it doesn't fit into your worldview. Reason is most assuredly not liberal (although it doesn't fit into the current "conservative" mold either), it's libertarian.

      <![CDATA[PLEASE...can I just pay sales and property taxes? That would be GREAT...<br>
Oh, BTW, since most illegal immigrants are renters and don't own property, I see a huge logical flaw; the "property taxes" you are referring to is most likely the property taxes the landlords paid.
