I guess you watched that program in NBC about illegal immigrant paying taxes.
I'll tell you something...
Ok, first of all I my self is an Immigrant, I came to the united states and applied for a green card. Once I got my green card I joined the NAVY and served six years, now I'm a disabled vet. I pay my taxes and I got my citizenship, I bought a house too.
Illegal immigrants come to the states illegally and they got a job by using a fake social security numbers, when they got paid, of course automatically their income get taxed, so they do pay taxes.
However, they can't get a medical insurance or own a property. When they got an emergency or something happens to them and they ended up in the Emergency Room, they can't pay the bill because they don't have the insurance coverage, by the time they left the hospital, the hospital can't find them to ask for the compensation, therefor they have to write off the bill and accept the losses. Guess what? Whose money did they just used for that expensive hospital bills? Your tax dollars.
Going back to the job that they have, the government find out that the employer was hiring some one with a bogus social security number, so they investigate it and find out that they were illegal immigrants. Guess what happen to the bussiness owner? He has to pay a fine or he will get jailed. And guess again, if that bussiness owner was your employer too, now that he or she has to pay that fine, whose money is the bussiness owner have to use? Their's, and because he or she has to use the money, and now that he or she is short on the money, he have to let go some of his employee. Guess what again? That employee could be, your husband or wife, your parents, your best friends with many kids or YOUR SELF.
Now, what do you think of illegal immigrants?

Immigrants have started the legal procedure to become American Citizens .
Do you mean illegal immigrants , those who enter this country illegally and are breaking the US laws . No , illegal immigrants should not become legal , they have to go home and do it the correct way .
How do they pay taxes , you tell me ?
I don't consider myself a immigrant , some of my grandparents were , but I was born here and I'm a American Citizen .
Illegal;s are a drain on this country , they are given health care , free schooling , take jobs at cheaper wages , bring in diseases , drugs and crime . No they are not good for this country .
Hey , look up " Immigration Gumballs " and see what legal and illegal immigration , is doing to this country . Time will tell . I might not live long enough to see it but ...
Our children and grandchildren will be paying for what we do now .

i also say there is a big difference here,we are all immigrants basically,BUT the illegals now that's a different story.one foot on american soil and they have broken the law,yet when they are stopped for traffic violations all we do is run the i.d.if there isnt any wants or warrents they turn them loose so they can go and break yet another law by working and NOT payen taxes.i live in missouri and even here it is getting bad,so i say no..illegal is illegal and should stay that way,we need to take the taxes that we the legal pay and send them home,and finish building the fence,there is a way to become a citizens,then welcome to us.untill then its illegal,

Do you understand that even if they pay taxes they can never pay enough tax to even pay the $10,000 per child it costs to educate a child for a single year in California? And to the extent they make ends meet from low wages by getting food stamps and aid for their children they are not ONLY undermining the wage for our working folks, they are making our tax payers pay for the privilege as well?
We were a lot more compassionate when there were a lot fewer. The number here now has HUGE impacts on our schools, health care and services, and on the wages of our blue collar workers.
There are reasons we have limits on how many poor should come. We take care of OUR poor, but their own countries should take care of them.

NO!!! They should not!!! ILLEGAL ALIENS have the right to become LEGAL IMMIGRANTS...but they choose not to. Instead of spending $2,000 for a smuggler to cross them under the cover of night, they should use that $ to apply legally.
#1 They are the biggest contributors (thieves) to the identity theft problem that is plauging you, me and the elderly who have worked for YEARS to save up, only to have their entire savings wiped out by these CRIMINALS.
#2 Communicable diseases that were stomped out in the U.S. years ago have started popping up again....IN ILLEGALS who go to OUR hospitals and get hundreds of thousands of $ worth of treatment from MONEY HUNGRY Hospital Administrators who know that the TAXPAYERS will eventually pay for the bill. How many of these people are screened for disease when they come in? NONE!! Because they came in illegally!!
#3 Who runs criminal histories on these ILLEGAL ALIENS?? Nobody! There are baby rapers, murders, serial killers, thieves, gang members, drug addicts/smugglers and TERRORISTS (The Mexican population is the largest converting to Islam...look it up). Now how can they become "legal" without knowing who they are??? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
Do you think Mexican Officials are going to share truthful information with the U.S. concerning these 12 million plus ILLEGALS when they send BILLIONS of $ back to their country every year?? Of course not.....the next question should be where is all that money Mexico and could you imagine what would happen to the U.S. economy if it was spent here in the Country that just gave it to them???
Next time you pay old Pablo $20 to blow leaves and cut your grass, ask yourself...."Are my wife and kids going to be safe when I leave for work?"

I think everyone should be legally admitted to a country. Any country has the right to control its borders. Can you imagine if what I've read recently is true - - that more than 60% of Mexicans would come to the U.S. if the US adopts an open order policy

Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes. If you think for one second that some guy who hasn't had his wages deducted and knows he can't get audited because he isn't on the books is going to waste his time filling out 1040s just so he can enjoy sending half his money to the government, you are truly an idiot.
All illegal immigrants are criminals and should be deported at the first opportunity.

Immigrants are legal. Illegal aliens are not immigrants. They majority of illegal aliens do not pay federal or state income taxes. The few that do with a false/stolen social security number are far out numbered by those illegal aliens that are paid in cash and pay no taxes except sales taxes on goods or services. I live in AZ.
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 alien population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal alien 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 illegal alien 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.
Legal immigrants deserve respect. Illegal aliens are law breakers who do not deserve jobs, amnesty, educational subsidies, driver's licenses, and other benefits at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. Illegal aliens first should be encouraged to Go Home voluntarily and then humanely deported as the law requires. Once the public recognizes that jobs and benefits equal encouragement the public will truly press for the flow to cease. Amnesties for illegal aliens have clearly made the problem worse and should be vigorously opposed.

Immigrants ARE legal, Illegal Aliens, are NOT, nor should they ever. If your very FIRST action on US soil is to violate the law, which inevitable spirals into more lawlessness (fraudulent documents, not paying taxes, etc, etc), you are worthless as a citizen of this country and need to be forced to return to your country of origin.

Illegals should respect our country enough to check in at the door. If the government would allow low paid , young Americans the same incentives and also get their paycheck at a reduced tax rate then AMERICANS could afford the same jobs.Americans can't get a pay check and welfare and social services at the same time like illegals who recieve citizen benifits that citizens can't get themselves.
