It would also abolish the IRS. People also would never have to "do their taxes" again.

But thus the tax burden of all those illegals would be eased up, as they'd be paying taxes.

The other idea I have (if the Fairtax can't be done) would be to design a system where unless you pay taxes, you don't vote. I don't know how it would be enforced, but a system where you absolutely have to be a taxpayer to vote that is enforced would immediately prevent all illegals and welfare recipients from voting.
You need to apply a little analysis here, BS, before posting.

What happens to most of the money illegals earn here?

HINT: They do not spend it in the US.

Not sure how you can effectively tax money being sent back to Mexico.
