For illegal immigrants who pay Social Security taxes, where does the money go?

Question

Many undocumented workers have to use a fake id to get jobs, and their employers have to deduct Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid taxes. But these workers are not entitled to any Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid benefits. So where does all that money go?

My question is simply, where does the money go that illegal immigrants pay in Social Security taxes. Please just answer the question and don't lecture me about the pros and cons of illegal immigration. The New York Times says the money goes to some kind of suspense account, and is helping keep the Social Security system solvent. I have never heard of any plans to refund this money to the people who paid these taxes.

Answer 1

It goes back to the government. Probably another reason they want illegals here.

Answer 2

It should go back to the American tax payers who are supporting these illegals with all the government benefits they get.
They don't "have" to use fake SS numbers,they chose to do that.It is illegal by the way.Why is it ok for them to think they can just use a fake number or use one of a taxpaying citizen?

Answer 3

Immigration to the U.S. is a privilege, not a right. Immigrants should be net contributors to the gov­ernment and society and should not be a fiscal bur­den on American society. While highly educated immigrants, on average, make positive fiscal contri­butions, the overall fiscal impact of low-skill immi­grants is negative. And I dont know who you think your kidding by saying they dont get government assistance!Some 80 percent of illegal immigrants come from Mexico and Latin America. Histori­cally, Hispanics in America have had very high levels of welfare use. Not to mention other costs illegals burden our country with.And dont forget America sends Mexico millions of dollars in aid money.Maybe you should learn your facts before you come here uneducated.

Answer 4

I know illegal aliens who use hospital services and their children born in the USA are entittled medicaid. Children of illegals should be illegals too.
