You have to ask someone who knows the tax laws why and when. I remember reading something about it years ago but don't recall the details. However just about everyone I know has heard the same story. I just keep hearing it over and over. One story that was told to me recently, by someone who worked with an engineer from India at Ford Motor, saying the guy would brag about not having to pay income tax. <br /> My theory is there was a time when cheap labor was hard to find and no one wanted low paying manual labor jobs. I think the intent was to attract foreign workers or help these people get established here in the USA. The I.R.S. didn't exist at the time when immigrants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries came here. So it was probably argued by law makers (most likely they or their parents immigrated to America)that it would be unfair to tax immigrants untill they became established as U.S. citizens. We know those early immigrants had no intention of returning to the old world. But now, many of the Arabs I know have duel citizenship. Even their children speak of the old world as "their country". They don't think of themselves as Americans. The people who used to live across the street from me a few years ago, flew the Lebanese flag. Their kids would beat up the Iraqi kids (1991 war refugees) next door to me! They hated each other. I feel like I'm living in the Middle East.
