Yep, they're getting desperate. Exactly what taxes are these people liable for?
They don't use U.S. services like roads, public schools etc so what the hell are they paying for?
For the right to say they are an american citizen?
Same for people living abroad for years. They don't burden the U.S. system (that i am aware of) so what legal right does the govt have to say "You need to pay us for shit you never used."
