How does it work btw? Do you come to your country's tax authority and say "hello, I'm here illegally, can I pay taxes" ?

You file your taxes under a special SSN that begins with a 9 that is given to you by the IRS specifically for filing.

And you're not immediately arrested for, like, illegally working or potentially illegally crossing the border to begin with?

Or is it like taxing criminal activity, simply a loophole to make charging them easier?

b) government likes money more than it likes fairness, as should be obvious looking at... yknow... [gestures generally]
