Do illegals REALLY pay taxes or do they get their money back?

Question

The small number of illegals who actually pay taxes have a large number of children and, therefore, have enough deductions to get most, if not all, their money back. In addition, they drain our schools and health care systems.

So, tell me, how do illegals pay taxes and help the economy, as so many claim?

Answer 1

The vast majority don't pay taxes. The reason being, the federal government would then know who their employer is and could go after them. Most illegals get paid cash or off the books so that neither the employer or the illegal leaves a paper trail.

Answer 2

Some do pay taxes and some don't but it doesn't matter how many children you have its not like before the more children the more tax return you get it only counts for two children. Do some research and as draining your schools its not possible because when you enroll your child at school your asked to bring in there ssn and birth certificate. And so as health care when you got to a federal government agency for help you must be a us citizen and or a resident for more than five years before you get some kind of help so many pay out of there pockets. I know this because I work at a government hospital in Chicago plus the vast majority of people with government help are others have you tried or seen this places so do some research before signaling or pointing the finger

Answer 3

Well lets lump them all together again. I have had a first hand experience with an illegal Mexican (female) with one child, who worked with a bad ssn. Knowing that she was going to try and get her papers she went and filed her income tax with a tax id number and actually had to pay the Government about 6500.00 in back taxes. She still only has one child, and it has been 7 years since her first child. By chance have you checked to see how many legals cheat on their taxes and live off of welfare.

Answer 4

When an illegal alien uses a false social security number to get a job, their taxes are deducted from the check. They can't get a refund if they file tax returns using that social security number. So even if they have 10 kids, they can't claim them, especially if the kids are illegal, too. Then, of course, they have to pay sales, personal and real property taxes, gas taxes, etc. like everyone else.

Answer 5

Illegals usually make poor income and poor people, illegal or not, don't pay taxes. I'm sure they don't file for a tax return. they are illegal and would be setting themselves up to be caught.
They may pay social security taxes, which they will never get back because their social security numbers are false, but what they receive in the way of medical and other services far exceeds what they pay in.
You do the math.

Answer 6

They simply don't file, use fake social security numbers, or borrowed social security numbers. Uncle Sam just can't collect on these people.

Answer 7

EXCUSE ME!!! LET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ANSWER THIS QUESTION!!!
My husband is illegal and we are in the legal process of getting his visa.
WE DO PAY TAXES THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
"WE ONLY HAVE 2 CHILDREN"
AND NO WE DO NOT GET ANY EARNED INCOME CREDIT FOR OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HE IS ILLEGAL.
HONESTLY, I WISH PEOPLE WOULD EDUCATE THEMSELVES BEFORE THEY GO OFF RUNNING THEIR MOUTHS!!!!

Answer 8

You would have to write to each one individually to get your answer. Anyone who answers for them is just talking out of their ears. Ask a legit question next time, don't try to "make a point".
