Was there really a need to split that response into 4 seperate posts? Anyway, i think you have confused the terms "non-citizen" and "illegal immigrant" because they are definitely not the same. A non-citizen is someone who has a work-visa and can stay in the country as long as they work. They are registered with the INS and pay taxes but can't vote or do some of the things full citizens can. Non-citizens keep the passports of their country of origin and leave once the work term is up or apply for permanent citizenship. An illegal immigrant is someone who just snuck across the border and has no legal status. I'm not sure about how taxation goes for them but i'd be betting illegal immigrants don't pay taxes because as far as the IRS is concerned, they don't exist.
As for why Lebell assumed Mexico, i can't speak for him but i would be guessing that since geographically speaking, mexico is the only country bordering texas and that there are many well documented cases of illegal immigrants crossing over on the texas border, it wasn't too much of a leap to assume your bf was from mexico.
Finally, please stop making irrelevant points like your last post and the huge list of famous immigrants. We all know that the U.S. was created by immigrants and that the majority of its population consists of immigrants, be it recent or generations removed.
