Right there in the General Fund and the Social Security Trust Fund!
It's the government's dirty little secret. They get to keep the payroll taxes from wages paid to illegals using bogus Soc Sec numbers. One more reason Georgie Boy is soft on them!
The IRS and SSA know that they're bogus but don't raise a ruckus unless the illegal files an income tax return which of course they never do out of fear of being caught.

I cannot tell you were all the taxes have gone. I can tell you with certainty, that most of them here work for cash (under the table), Many also think that by claiming more dependents they are getting more money. The reason for this is because they don't like to pay Uncle Sam(good or bad) his dues on April 15th. If they would get educated they would understand that getting paid a bit less a week, gives you a check in April or May. I do my taxes early. They do the jobs they do because they want to. Have any of them heard of learning English, you know, in some school that is free. I will not continue with this because it really disgust me that immigrants come to this country were they cannot be any better and still complaint.

You're right, immigrants rarely requrest refunds on the income tax they earn. But consider this...
If an immigrant works full time at $10/hr, that is $20k/year. They probably withhold about 10% per year, so that's $2000 a year in taxes.
One immigrant baby, no complications costs US taxpayers up to $10,000. That's five people for one baby. One year of school in California is over $10,000. That's another five full time working immigrants per student. A family of five with three kids? Fifteen full time working immigrants to support that one family.
That doesn't count the other health care, work related injuries, transportation costs, crimes, uninsured driver damage. Your tax dollars pay for immigrants. Immigrants don't cover their costs. Period.

That's the golden questions. That's also why the gov'mint doesn't do much about illegal immigration. There are billions--with a B--of dollars in the social security system that go untapped, and the federal system that goes unclaimed. Alarmingly, the illegal criminals using someone else's SSN rack up a nasty tax bill for that persona that takes years to resolve if it ever does. But it's one of those questions they like to sweep under the carpet.

Most of the illegals working here are used as slave labor,especially in the garment industry. That's right ,SLAVE labor. They are brought here illegally and work to pay off their debt- whatever it cost to bring them here. Next time you put on some designer clothes,guess who made it.
Also illegals that come here from Mexico don't stay here. They work for the season to make some money,then go back home to come back again next year. The Mexican government doesn't say anything because last year alone,illegals sent home more than $20 billion.

Do you really think illegal immigrants file taxes?
In order for one to get money back one must file ones income taxes with the IRS.
When an Illegal Immigrant uses some unsuspecting law abiding citizens Social Security number for work, they probably are not filing taxes.
Remember - Illegal means NOT legal.

That's the great secret that no one wants you to hear. They have to pay social security and taxes, and can't ask for a return. But I'm sure that everyone will be ok when there's no more "illegals" and no more social security.

all they got to do is claim it like everyone else if they can stay in one place long enough to get the check back. And who gets the money people paid into retiremnet when they die ?

Ask the crooked government who lines their pockets with that money.
