Non-citizens who reside in this country use many of its services: roads, weather reporting, police protection, fire fighting, etc. I think it's entirely reasonable that they should pay taxes, it is their choice to live here. It would be unreasonable to expect the internees in Cuba to pay for their incarceration.
