it's well known immigrants can work and file taxes for programs they will never have access to like social security and medicare
I understand lawful immigrants working and filing taxes (visas, greencard holders, etc…) The article refers to “undocumented” i.e. illegal immigrants.

Illegals get tax IDs and pay taxes too. They pay social security and medicare tax.

Damn, I was listening to Sam Seder talk about this a few weeks ago. He said the IRS would never give up their information.

Why would they be stupid? They’re living here and using public resources, you should want undocumented people to pay taxes.
Im not talking about the undocumented immigrants, I’m talking about the system. We should be doing everything to get undocumented immigrants out of the country and disincentivizing more from coming.

How the fukk you can we expect to cut back on illegal immigration if we’re just like, “come on over, hell you can even get a job and file your taxes!” :dahell:!

I did not know this


This is ridiculous

Like others have said if you really want to crack down on illegal immigration, go after the corporations who employ them.

But getting a tax ID and then paying federal, state, local, social security, FICA and Medicare taxes isn’t a bad thing. It’s those fostering this that is.
