Im new here. I have took the time to read thru the questions as to get a grip on both sides. If all of you people who are for the Illegals to stay here, since you feel its not right to deport them. Why dont you pay taxes for them ? That way those of us who are having to pay taxes can have a break. Its not the fact that they are here, its the fact that they are living here free. They do break the law every day they are here. Their kids are educated in our schools systems for free, while we have to pay taxes for our kids education. And as for doing all the "Dirty Jobs' that us Americans wont do is hog wash. My mother cleaned toliets to support us 3 kids when my father left her and she did it proudly and she was a american. They come here for the good life and in one way I cant blame them, but do it legally and there would be no problems at all. Call me a Racist I could care one way or the other.

Here..Here... I only wish all the "bleeding hearts" would take a moment and read your post.
They pay taxes. How can you pay taxes if you are here illegally. You don't have a legal social security card, so I'm assuming you ONLY pay taxes when you shop.
Give me a break. You may pay taxes, but you are not paying the legal amount of taxes that every legal citizen is paying...

Lady they do pay taxes for there children's education...where do you come up with that?
The money comes from property taxes, even if you rent you still will pay property taxes, any landlord with a brain figures that into the cost of the rent....
They dont live here free, they do pay taxes, property and sales tax, ever heard of that? Why aren't you bitchin about employers who pay these people under the table and do not pay any withholding taxes which contribute to social security?
That is a much greater offense, under IRS law....If these employers are caught and refuse to pay the back taxes along with the huge penalities, THEY will go to jail....I really dont care what your mother did, we all have sob stories, get a life and mind your own business, and get your fact straight before you come on here and look like a fool!

I agree with you on most points. They can pay taxes if they get a federal id number. IRS does not care if they are legal or not.
In the town I live in fake ids, fake green cards, fake drivers licenses and fake social security cards are everywhere. No one does a thing about it. Not only do they get free schooling, they get free breakfasts and lunches, special bilingual teachers and books, they get low income housing, low income utility prices, free baby formula, diapers, milk , eggs, cheese and free medical care, dental and glasses. If they have several kids, and most of them do, they get a major tax break if they have paid taxes. The middle class is slowly being wiped out as people like you and me are fitting the bill for these people. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said they come here for the good life.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
Thats on The Statue of Liberty...Everyone is welcome in America...I feel thats the way it should be...If your kids were needing and you could go to a different country to provide for them in a better way...you wouldnt wait on a freaking Visa
Your gonna pay taxes wether there are illegals or not everyone should stop acting like there 10 years old and worry about the things that directly affect you..."They dont pay taxes so why should I thats not fair"...Grow up!
P.S. Scrubbing toilets is a little different than picking fruit in 100 degree weather....just sayin

I am not "pro-illegal alien" (as you put it), but I do have to point out that probably most illegal immigrants do pay taxes. In fact the employment laws of the country make if very difficult for them not to. But hear me out.
Certainly all illegal immigrants who live in the country pay sales taxes whenever they purchase products. Some illegal immigrants (probably more than we know) acquire a SSN card either legally or illegally and have the same payroll state and federal taxes deducted from their paychecks. Note: Employers also pay employer taxes for each employee - hence a lower paying wage actually lowers the taxes employers pay as well.
But probably the most surprising intervention by the IRS to collect taxes from illegal immigrants is the ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number) which are given to residents who do not need to prove their legal status. In short these ID numbers allow IRS to collect taxes on illegal immigrants who work in the country while not giving ITIN users the same tax credits and benefits citizens and legal residents receive.
For those illegal immigrants who don't pay taxes, blame the employers who hired them. Let's not be stupid. Employers who pay cash, who don't require an ID, who don't require an SSN, know they are hiring illegal immigrants. Again the employers benefit by not having to pay employer payroll taxes as well.
So, in short, I don't think your reasoning of non-paying taxes is actually that vital a reason to deport illegal immigrants. Most who work here, pay taxes here. The only illegal immigrants who aren't paying income taxes are those who are employed by employers who knowingly hired them illegallly. If these employers followed the employment and tax laws illegal immigrants who may have successfully deceived them of their legal status would still be paying taxes.
One last note, employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants and pay "under the table" are just as much as a tax evasive criminal as the illegal immigrants they hire.

People are people, how can people be illegal?
What gives you the right (other than humans themselves after maintaining the unequality in the world to personal advantage), to live there? Just having been lucky to be born there?
Everybody should pay taxes for everybody else who is weak, ill and in need of help. If you are worth being called a human, act humane, and feel personally responsible for the well being of others in the world.
The world belongs to everybody, not just those who claimed it first and killed everybody else who wanted to claim it too.
You are not personally responsible / to be thanked, for the wealth of your nation (most of this wealth was acquired with exploitation of others), neither are other individuals personally responsible for their poverty. If you do not want them to move to your country, take responsibility for their quality of life in their home land.
Justice is not about practicality, but about ideals.

most illegal immigrans actually do pay taxes. I know my wives father spent 25 years working in a factory, and every two weeks he lost a part of his paycheck to social security. now that he's retired, he isn't even eligible to get what he paid out. my wife's family also have to pay property taxes on their house, which pays for them having gone to school. so what point are you trying to make?

How can they pay taxes, if they do not have a social security number? You cant get a social security number if you are not a legal citizen.
