Regarding in-state tuition, I am strongly against that. Illegals by definition do not pay state or federal income tax…[/quote]

Not sure why you think this. Both with regards to the definition of illegal and that the undocumented pay no state or federal income tax.
Neither is innacurate.[/quote]
So please explain how an illegal can pay state or federal income tax when they do not have a SSN or TIN? TIN’s are given to legal aliens w/ green cards by the way. SSN is naturalized citizen. Income tax payments from employers on behalf of an employee are associated with an SSN/TIN – it is not just a big pool of money dumped by an employer at the Franchise Tax Board and Internal Revenue service’s doors. This is also how the Social Security Administration can come up with your pay history for your Social Security Benefits, which they annually send out the Benefit Analysis sheet to citizens who are employed.

A lot of the wages for illegals are handled as cash under the table – Cash = not track-able. Note that I highlighted income which is not the same as sales tax.
