Find answers to your legal question.





do you believe those who are in the country illegally pay enough taxes to cover their social foot print?

if you believe they do, please give reasons why legal residents can't have the same tax rates as those who are living here without proper credentials....







Make A Joyful Noise
We have illegal immigrants to thank for shoring up the social security system. The money they pay into social security using non-existent numbers or legal resident's ss numbers will never go back to them. Their biggest impact is on state and local services mostly in the form of healthcare. They can't get welfare or unemployment without a valid social security number. They pay the same tax rate as anyone for the income they make and usually more because they are afraid to claim dependents. It's when they get sick or injured that they cost money to take care of.

They are a "net benefit" to the economy because they will (happily) work for a third of Minimum Wage, thus rendering YOUR household grocery bill a third or less of what it might otherwise be....the reason we can't ALL pay zero in taxes is because then there would be no revenue! But I have little doubt that if you offered to do your current job (just as well) for three dollars an hour, your employer would "find a way" to cover your "missing" share of the national tax burden...

That is a very interesting topic, but I have heard that illegals pay tax because people don't know they are illegal, but because they are illegal they dont get to claim their taxes like we americans do at the end of the year. So if thats true... well half of me says, get legal and half of me says they pay their share of taxes....
