text: if  the  "amnesty" bill gets passed, and illegal immigrants are only required to pay 3yrs of back taxes..... from the past 5 years of illegal employment in the u.s. does a u.s. citizen have the right (strong legal ground) to file a (successful) lawsuit against the federal gov. if the citizen refuses to pay (fed., state.)taxes for 3years but is being prosecuted by the irs? i would think that you would still have to pay the irs, but would there be a way to recoup your "loses"? would it be constitutional? i'm, in no way, an expert in legal matters, but i can't help thinking there doesn't seem to be something quite right or 'legal' with what illegal immigrants may be given if the bill is passed. kind of like the wire taps that are going on. am i wrong? i was just curious.  on what grounds could you file? what they are talking about doing is not right. there are current laws on our books that would allow our govt to fine that illegal alien $250,000, plus incarceration, then deportation. also, there are laws on our books that prohibit employers from hiring undocumented workers. they all need to follow the current laws.    you are right. if you or i were to disobey the laws like these people are (employers as well as illegal aliens), we would be locked up for years.  it's just not right.
