I believe it is unlawful to take a deduction on a tax return for an illegal payment. Therefore by definition it is unlawful to take a deduction on a tax return for an illegal payment to an illegal immigrant. Therefore if the US Government was as serious about our laws and taxes as it is "political correctness" the tax gap could be closed. All that would be necessary is to disallow as deductions on any tax returns for any/all payments to and relevant to any illegal immigrants. Just think how much California would collect if they disallowed any deductions on any state tax return for any payments to any illegal immigrants in the vineyards and various fields. But they aren't going to do it, not because there is any question on the legalities, but they don't want to violate the "political correctness" of the democrat party.
