Would you be less inclined to kick illegal immigrants out of your country if they paid taxes?

Sarah Nelson. (Y)	Yes, but we all know that'll never happen.

samantha l	whether they pay their taxes or dont pay taxes. They are in our country illegally!!!!! Deport them straight away, OH NO far to many of them over here, we dont even know where half of them are. The other half are easy to find just go down to the council offices and ask them, they have all been given accommodation from our wonderful gov.

Dion	Real research is needed to detemine whether that is true. The local British may be avoiding tax more than immigrants due to knowing the loopholes and knowledge about tax minimisation strategies. Immigrants that come in and buy things, pay VAT, and when they have jobs, income tax is collected by employers.

matt	No. I donÂ´t know of any country in the world, that lets illegal aliens pay taxes. In order to be able to pay taxes you must be registered and have a permit. Must be legal to do that. Automatically makes your question obsolete.

ELIZABETH N	No, money from taxes is not as important as other factors, overcrowding is one example

Cynical_Student	There is no excuse for breaking the law. If they're here illegally they should be sent back to where they came from.

Angel A	kick them out.. all of them................far right

Gent	they don't so no...end of

joseph b	No , because not only are they here illegally, but that still woundn't solve the problem of how they take jobs, such as in the construction industry away from citizens, work for less and make it hard for unions to fight for fair wages. Besides, if my cousin wanted to come here leaglly, it would take years because of them, why shouldn't they wait their turn like my cousin?

Oswald W	It is only one of the reasons---(Non Payment of Taxes) Main reason, they have abused the Law and our hospitality with increasing relish.Yes ,I would report them, like I would report any Felony.

mnwomen	No they are still in the country illegally.

bob1442	just being here illegally...shows they have no respect for the laws of this land.......

A M	Paying or not pay taxes has nothing to with the issue. It has to with respecting and enforcing the laws of our country. The issue is did they come in the legal way or not. I have no problem with immigrants in the USA if they do it the legal way but if they come here illegally then they are breaking our laws and that makes them criminals. They should be deported. PERIOD! Many murders, rapist, child molester, drug dealers work real jobs also and pay taxes but they break laws. We don't give them a free pass 'cause they pay taxes nor should anyone that breaks the laws of the USA. Granted, many illegal immigrants are good hard working people but there is now way of knowing how many are on the wrong side of the law in not only their home land but here too. Have you thought about this? No one know who they really are or where they actually live. So, since no one knows where they live or who they are or even knows they are here then wo can say they aren't committing crimes like selling drugs, kidnapping children or even committing the thousands of unsolved murders here? If the police don't know they are in this country then they don't know who they are, where they are or what they are doing. Therefore they are unable connect them to any crimes. What it comes down to is if they are here illegally, good or bad people, they are still breaking immagration laws and need to pay the price for breaking our laws and not rewards for their criminal behavior. Business that take advantage of illegal immagrants should be heavily fined or have their business shut down if they hire them. BY hiring them at low wages and working them long hours amounts to slavery. Black slaves weren't paid a daily wage, they recieved housing food and clothing so the only difference between the black slaves of the past and the illegal immaigrants of today is the cash money.We should be outraged and boycott the business that take advantage of illegals so they can increase their profit margins.

Lori K	No. I don't think that anyone who breaks federal immigration laws should be given a pass. All should be deported. All the other issues -- taxes, language, social services, etc., are distractions from the main issue and that is that breaking federal immigration laws are grounds for, not only deportation, but refusal of ANY visa for ANY country EVER. How can we possibly justify letting these people get away with a crime of this magnitude. Once you break immigration laws you should NEVER be welcome. EVER. Other countries won't give visas to those who break these laws. Why should WE give them a pass?

Sam J	They are here illegally, we should move them out or jail them. Another alternative is to allow real British also to break laws and get away with it

Dirty(er) Martini	So they pay taxes......at least they leech a little less off the US taxpayer. But they are still criminals and they still have a negative impact on other Americans through loss of jobs and/or income generation. Sorry, even if they pay taxes, I'm still irritated and believe they should be deported.

yesseree	No, because their true costs far outweigh any taxes they pay or savings from employers. Most of their kids have learning problems that put a huge burden on society. It's gonna get a lot worse here in the U.S.A. With their population explosion, many rural towns have degraded to third-world appearances.

Mendi8a	they do pay taxes.

ralph w	Yes, topd said it! This is not abot taxs! RULE of LAW. They are here illgeally and they do not listen to laws. THere is this immigrnt at the Burger King at the mall and she is illegal I think. Last tuesday, I saw her jwalking even though the DO NOT WALK sign was on and flashing!! I tried to chase her with my car but she was almost itno the the store and my car tire went onto the sidewalk and knocked over the trashcan so i had to stop the car. Next time I WIL get her and make she is reporte d and deported!! rule of law!

Lulabelle	No - immigrant numbers need to be monitored and even if they somehow paid their taxes, they are causing imbalance in the population.

Elizabeth S	Not really, just because they pay taxes doesn't mean that they should be excused for remaining in this country illegally. No, they are here illegally, I don't think it's right that they're here We wouldn't absolve any American from a crime because they paid their taxes well that's the point we pay all the taxes while they work for free

mike ingham	ALL illegal immigrants are criminals as soon as they broke our laws by staying in the UK without permission, If they break our law to get in why should we allow a criminal to stay?

VG	I live in Canada and I have no problem with immigrants. far to much of our tax money goes to welfare (People to lazy to work). If people on welfare are allowed to be here then people who are working should be able to do as they wish to. I have been trying to move to the UK for years but finding a job is very hard for me. Not paying taxes is the least of my problems. The UK governments won't even let me work a job where I do pay taxes.

Lizzie M	Well I know someone who is an illegal immigrant; they came here because if they stayed in their country they would have died because of their medical problems. For me, personally, it depends on why they came.

Samantha W	well thats the point we pay all the taxes while they work for free if they paid there way i would welcome them

Suzeeque Q	What part of "Illegal" do people not understand???

Martha Z	no. illegal is illegal period.

u_bin_called	the prisons in the US and UK are full of law-breakers who paid their taxes faithfully...

italienne	No, they are here illegally, I don't think it's right that they're here.

Magic 8 Ball	Not really, just because they pay taxes doesn't mean that they should be excused for remaining in this country illegally. We wouldn't absolve any American from a crime because they paid their taxes.

todp03	it would help ,but there's still this issue about rule of law
