The first income tax in the US was found unconditional. It changed with the passage of the 16th amendment:
The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Prior to the 16th amendment, income tax was a violation on the following from Article 1 Section 2:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other Persons.
The 13th amendment, which abolished slavery, made ‘other Persons’ an outdated term.

Spelling and capitalization is as found in my copy of the constitution.

Your “question” is utter nonsense. If you wish to get up close and personal with the IRS’s Criminal Investigations Division, I encourage you to both follow through on your foolish ideas and encourage other donkeys to join your little parade. I’ve seen so many amateur lawyers who try to make these stupid arguments, that I’m not even going to try to talk you out of it or bother explaining why you’re wrong. Chance are, you wouldn’t listen anyway. Tell the Treasury agents I said hello!

Income tax is constitutional because it is the lifeblood of the state. It is a valid imposition by the government upon the citizens for contributions from their income to finance the operations of the government such as public works and services. How can the government exist if there are no funds to use for its expenses.

I’ll tell you what. There are dozens of websites that legally outline each and every argument that tax is illegal, and the case history of how everyone that tried it, no matter how many books they sold, did not get away with it or was convicted.

One author was fined an additional $3,000 in taxes just for bringing it up in court.

Case in point: a female airline pilot won in criminal court because the judge didn’t like the IRS. However, he could not bar the IRS from collecting her back taxes, fines, and interest they imposed civily. Even if you do it wone way, they get you the other way.

Of course, if the illegals are not deported, if enough people stop paying taxes, that would have a reverberating effect. That way you hit Washington where it hurts. If the borders go so does the constiution – their will be no law unless a constututional amendment is added.
