I have worked many years and paid income taxes. Now I am disabled and can't even afford basics or my meds. I see illegal aliens making money & not paying taxes, plus getting more benefits than than honest citizens. It doesn't seem fair or right. What do you think?

Illegal aliens don't get more benefits than "honest citizens"; they get the same benefits as everyone else, because they're employed in the same market as everyone else. And what makes you so certain this guy doesn't pay taxes? Many illegal aliens actually do pay taxes because of the way their employer pays them, even when they don't have to (since they don't make enough money), because they don't fill out tax return forms.
You can turn them if you want, but what good will that do YOU in the end? It's just petty revenge - harming others as a way of venting your frustration at your own life.
You can turn them in if you'd like, but you won't be doing anyone any good. What sort of person takes out their anger that way? Not a good one.

The INS.
By the way, illegals do indeed get special benefits that no one else gets. My ex-husband's cousin worked as a school nurse. Once a week a government agency would come to the school and take the children for illegal aliens to get free medical care. This included, doctors, dentists, eye care, etc. NO OTHER group of children were allowed this same privilege. That includes American born children of illegal aliens. Also, it there was a poverty stricken child in the school, one who could not afford a doctor or dentist no matter how sick they were, they could not get this bus ride either.
This is just one of the "extras" that illegals can get...and all at taxpayers expense.

1. I understand what you are saying. However, it is not just illegal aliens that we need to focus on. Some of the people who are taking advantage of the system are the citizens themselves.
2. Can one person make a difference? Unfortunately, no. This may sound awful, but things will never change. Who is to blame? Is it our elected officials? Is it ourselves? Everyone is to blame.
3. We have laws, if someone is breaking the law, and you know it, you'll have to ask yourself if it is necessary to turn them in. No one can help make that decision for you. I see alot of illegal aliens, but I don't turn them in. . what good will it do?

It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the law. If you knew someone was stealing from a store on a daily basis, you would turn them in regardless of their race...so quit playing that card. The law says that you must have the right paperwork in order if you want to be in the country, whether it's a vacation or for work or school. That goes for every country in the world: if you travel at all, you have to fill out visa forms and go through customs, or they'll ship you back in a heartbeat.
Turn the person in.

First of all there is no INS anymore. It is called BCIS. Second they won't come arrest the alien, he has to prove he is a threat to the US.
He buys his food here, he buys gas, he pays rent, so somewhere along the way he is paying taxes. If you want to get him for not paying taxes, you should go after his employer.

I've never met an illegal alien who didn't pay taxes, which is crap because why should they pay taxes to a country that doesn't want them here.

Take a trip to Mexico and build a house for a family of four that used old garage doors and tarps to build the place where they live and maybe, just maybe youll feel sorry and have compassion for them as i do
They just want the best life they can get

i thought illegals paid taxes and dont get any money back 'cuz they cant file a return...Why would someone blame their problems on illegals anyway. Sorry about your luck.
