First thing California has done right – tax illegals. Now maybe they’ll go back to Mexico …or Arizona where Sheriff Joe will round ‘em up.

I’m sure actually raising revenue is a secondary concern. Democrat politicians just want to normalize the status of their constituency-in-waiting.

Encourage? Surely they jest.

Encourage, urge, what the hell is that? Does my income fall under that category?

…to voluntarily join a program and pay state income taxes…

According to CA, their income tax system, like that of the federal gov’t, is based on voluntary compliance right now. So how would this change anything? If the illegals decide not to volunteer, does that mean that I can decide to not volunteer as well? And if not, why not? Both systems are voluntary, or so says the gov’t.

Exit questions:

1 — If your state income tax system is based on voluntary compliance, why do you need enforcement personel?

2 — Why is there a need to enforce something that the gov’t claims is voluntary?

3 — If I don’t volunteer for the current voluntary compliance income tax system the FRB will surely arrest me; so, if an illegal alien in CA doesn’t volunteer for this new law, can I demand that the Franchise Tax Board arrest them for income tax violations?

ya mean with that feloniously obtained SSN ?!?!

continuous communist creepiness

oh, hey, will they get triple the number of deductions then? perhaps earlier retirement? cadillac healthcare like the public sector employees [[i can just NEVER call them workers anymore]]

how’s this grab ya
from article:

The program would not launch if federal officials disagreed.

PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT

@dope n change — That occurred to me, too. If they “volunteer” for this new law, how many deductions will they get? And will the CA legislature, in the future, pass new deductions specifically for illegal aliens? Wanna bet they will?

The state claims it will increase tax revenue by $300 million. But what if all the illegals fall into the pay-zero-and-get-refunds category? Won’t that be a drain on the CA treasury?

I believe too that this is just a way to stop the-illegals-can’t-vote crowd. Once they pay taxes, that argument becomes a little more difficult to sustain. And the Enemedia™ will label you racist if you don’t go along.

This is prima facie evidence that the CA legislature is racist.

@Stranded in Sonoma [[ya racist]]

think i got it — since it’s a new ‘law’, they’ll wildly overestimate the revenues (what else?); then in a coupla years it’ll be TOO “expensive” to attempt to collect on since it’s just so small a percentage of the $20-40 billion deficit.

it’s like bob barkers Plinko. no matter how many of those little stinking pegs it caroms off of it always gets to the bottom :

WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION

sure hope they have enough money left to send their sose security checks down to MEHheeco

Ehh… who in their right mind thinks that illegals will voluntarily pay income tax? Bwahahahaa!

Geez. Those CA folks really are delusional.

Citizenship for sale!
Citizenship for sale!
Get your citizenship here!
Citizenship for sale!

Next thing, they’ll be wondering why nobody is “voluntarily” signing up for it.

9-3-2012: “no felony convictions, learn English and live in California at least since 2008.”

9-4-2012: 9th Circuit Court finding: “RACIST requirement; Citizen!”

Darell Steinberg is, intellectually, low to no wattage. At least the state controller recognizes that no one will “voluntarily” pay taxes and that the additional net revenue to the state is roughly zero. Steinberg, on the other hand, is likely to pretend that this measure will result in trillions of dollars to California and increase spending accordingly.

They’re already legal in California. Drive down Tennyson Ave. in Hayward. It looks like a Home Depot in Zacotecas.

Pay your taxes, the government will send the money to Mexico for you.

I can hear them all going Ha! Ha! Ha! What a bunch of dumb gringo’s. Jose says, “We get free stuff, kill their people,[and get off] because they are so kind to us. (Look it up) And then our kids who have kids are Americans, and then, they let us bring our family’s to America too. Then we get more free stuff. I love America, land of free stuff; thank you Democrats”. Seattle is one of the cities that also gives drivers license’s to anyone that want’s one, and free whatever. Washington is as bad as California’ just look at who is in DC from our state. We can’t wait to move out.

@Jim–

Are you from Hayward? I used to live in Fremont. Things sure have changed, haven’t they?

There’s nothing more fun than cracking open a six pack, popping some Orville’s and reading the tax raising ideas and other shenanigans coming out of California. Hell, if they want to make real bucks off the illegals than make it legal for an illegal to sell dope and then tax them. You’d raise a hell of a lot more than 300 million and it’s no more crazy then selling citizenship to the highest bidder.

They have to sign a statement saying that they will vote for 0bama to show him how thankful they are for their new found freedom.

WTF! I can’t volunteer to pay my taxes! Maybe all the taxpayers should move out and see how long the libs will allow voluntary taxes. Enough of this crap!

The curious thing about the creeping bestowing of ‘constitutional rights’ on illegals is that they deny them the right to bear arms. If they’re allowed to be here, can drive, pay taxes but can’t vote of bear arms…what the hell are they?

Watch out–they might become conservatives.
