can't pay taxes if you put them in jail.

They don't pay taxes anyway, since they work under the table. But that's not a reason to put them in jail, that's a reason to make them citizens, or at least legal immigrants. Bring us your hungry, your tired, your poor.

They may not pay income taxes, but they can't escape paying any taxes.

Sales tax, rent taxes (or even property taxes for those lucky enough to buy property), transportation-related taxes, travel taxes, tolls, etc.

That "illegal immigrants pay no taxes" claim is false.
