The government can't tax non-citizens.
Maybe the law has changed though. Does anyone know the answer for sure?

I know the answer, and the IRS doesn't care if you are a citizen or legal resident or illegal resident. Any illegal can call up the IRS and they will give you a tax id number card (which is like social security card) and they will not ever ask or care if you are legal or illegal.
Once you are in the country and as long as you pay your taxes that are due the IRS is your friend, legal or illegal they don't care.
