Why do some ppl STILL refuse to admit that illegals pay taxes?

FoxAmericaLover!

Because I only believe in science that is why.

Who cares? The key word is "illegal."

Murderers and rapists pay taxes, too, but they are still criminals.

So are "illegal immigrants."

AnswerMan

They do? I havent met one yet that does... I am surrounded by Illegal Immigrants in the area that I live in. None of them work in a job that reports what they earn - they all get paid under the table in cash. They all rent the places they live in and pay in cash. They shop at stores that other illegals own and dont pay the sales tax.

Around here there is no such thing as a legal illegal immigrant...

IF they are illegal then they cant legally pay taxes. Oh we all pay taxes at the store. But if it was made fair why should we pay any taxes. Let us all collect welfare. Fair is Fair

Illegal aliens do NOT pay income taxes.
Illegal aliens generally work for cash, and do not pay the required federal and state with-holding taxes.
These are the taxes which go to pay for schools, roads and highways, public parks and playgrounds, public libraries, police and fire departments, welfare (of all kinds including supplimentary checks, WIC, food stamps, medical care, etc), court costs including public defenders, hospitals, etc....in fact all the services which illegal aliens all think are "free", when they are NOT. Taxpayers pay for all of it.
Illegal aliens cannnot get legal social security numbers, which is MANDITORY in order to pay income withholding taxes.
If illegal aliens are using a social security number to have taxes withheld from their checks, then they are using stolen social security numbers, a FELONY, a serious crime, for which the punishment is 25 years in federal prison and a $250,000.00 fine, followed by deportation for illegal aliens.
Any social security number which was not issued to you LEGALLY, by the United States Social Security Administration, with LEGAL and TRUE Identification, including a LEGAL United States birth certificate, or legal immigration papers, is STOLEN. Stolen social security numbers include all numbers "bought", made up, "borrowed", "imaginary", or belonging to any person other than you (including dead people and including your children). Stolen social security numbers include all numbers obtained by use of false identification, or by lying on any paperwork submitted to the U.S. Social Security Administration.

Get the picture?

Probably because if you got here illegally, you probably don't have papers to work. And if you don't have papers to work, then you're getting paid cash. And if you make that cash and head back to your native country, well...some ppl might STILL refuse to admit that illegals pay taxes.

curious

they pay LITTLE taxes if they are using a fake SSN..and they pay NO taxes if they are being paid under the table....seems if they want to work here as we do..they need to pay as we do......

Depends what kind of tax you are talking about. Some do and some don't.

Btw you aren't going to change anyones mind here on a Q & A board. This isn't some political forum where you are trying to convince others that your opinion is right.

usaf.primebeef

Be more specific.
What kind of taxes? State, Fuel, Federal, Income, Social Security?
Like most illegal immigrations supporters, you're way too vague. And speak without proper knowledge.

Well when they buy something as the store, they pay sales tax. Everyone does. But they do not pay income tax, social security tax, state tax, etc... because unless they have a legitimate social security number, it is impossible. And unless they are a legal resident of this country they do not have a legitimate social security number.

The same reason that too many morons don't see the illegal aliens as outlaws. Let em pay taxes in their own corrupt country, and let em get in line like our ancestors did to enter the USA legally.

I wouldn't care if they paid 90% of their wages in taxes. They are here and here illegally. As far as the fence goes, you gotta start somewhere. Doing nothing is no longer an option. As far as deportation goes, it still is cheaper than funding the bills generated by illegal immigration. The will and guts of the American people must push all politicians to secure our boarders.

lost&confused

You are absolutely right, they pay taxes while in jail or with fake social security card, but thats ok, fraud and felonies are great as long as they pay taxes.....soon dead people will have the right to vote....

worldneverchanges

The ones that get paid by check do. They have no choice. The vast majority are paid under the table. In many cases, the payment is made out to the "leader" who distributes the cash.

Ignorance.

byciclerabbit

i have no idea how it is in your country,but here the illegals dont pay taxes,how could they,there illegal,so i guess the government doesnt even know there here..

siervocal

It's just another false arguement for their racism.

Mendi8a

I guess if you hear a lie enough times you think it is true.

angela R

Good point....Also, so many say they are on welfare, yet how do they know? There are no numbers to show all these illegals, supposedly on welfare....

The people who hate "illegals" the most have no conception of what it means to be an employer, to have to pay withholding tax and FICA and FUTA.

From the standpoint of the undocumented alien who will never get any benefit from those taxes, it is the net pay, money in pocket, that counts. And it is the Government, and taxpayers generally, who profit from the situation.
