do immigrants pay taxes?

Answer 1

Immigrants yes, they pay taxes

But many illegals only pay sales tax.

Answer 2

Of course legal immigrants pay taxes.
Some ,not all illegals also pay taxes,some thru a TIN#
some only thru sales taxes.But the cost of the illegal immigrant to this nation far out numbers the taxes they pay.I have facts and figures if you want them.In fact here are the numbers in my state of Arizona

The $1.3 billion in costs incurred by Arizona taxpayers is comprised of outlays in the following areas:

Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.

Health Care. Uncom-pensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population is now estimated at about $400 million a year.

Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration)

$$$$ The unauthorized immigrant population pays some state and local taxes that go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments might generously be estimated at $257 million per year.

The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost items. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state’s taxpayers would be considerably higher if other costs such as special English instruction, school nutrition programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.

MAKE sure you read the part where the $$ signs are.
Here in AZ most illegals are paid in cash,by the job or by the day.So no taxes come out of thier pay.They do pay sales tax on what the buy.

Answer 3

I expect many legal immigrants pay taxes in America.
In Britain the biggest majority are given so many benefits
that's why its a magnet in Europe for so many illegal immigrants .With no coherent immigration controls most
taxes are paid by the indigenous population ,which have increased by the bucket load in the last 9.5years
Enough is Enough.
