Thanks for the info Motley.

The important point I tried to get across is that almost every responsible accounting agency has determined that, even with envios (remittances) the US and its citizens and workers are far ahead economically with illegal resident labor. That is well known and the facts are easy to find, yet very few Americans are able to acknowledge or perhaps even grasp this fact.

My Social Security is double taxed, and it angers me, thanks Ronnie Reagan! (I have to watch what I write, Civil is censoring me). My investments are probably taxed at least twice. My rents, so far as I can see, aren't double taxed (though the tax is hefty nevertheless!) 

I appreciate your comments on taxation, a subject which I don't know well.
