How do you feel about having OUR TAXES pay for illegals to get work under the table?

Question

Cantcu...Fruits and vegetables have NEVER just rotted on the ground...who has picked them before? AMERICANS have!!! That is usually one of teen agers first jobs!

Don't give me that kids wont work either, because I am only 35 and I was working at 14, washing dishes. I know a lot of AMERICAN citizens who have picked the crops too.

Anaoldmic...To be able to HELP the illegals FIND the work, YES IT IS MY TAX PAYING MONEY WHICH THEY ARE SPENDING ON THE ILLEGAL ALIENS! When the government starts setting up areas with buildings where illegal aliens can congregate to find work, YES IT IS MY MONEY DOING IT!

Answer 1

I am not for it at all, as a matter of fact income tax is illegal anyway, We need to do away with the IRS, and Income taxes, Protect our boarders and kick the criminal politicians out of office and put them in jail, and I mean real jail..

Answer 2

I gotta say that understand completely. I've got a friend who was entering a convenience store minding his own business when an uninsured, unlicensed illegal motorist drove into him and the store he was entering. Now he must to go to the Dr. once a month to have fluid drained from his spinal cord. No one will hire him even though he's willing to sign a workman's comp waiver in order to work. Insurance companies won't insure him. He's forced to be on social security and not even getting enough to support his family much less pay his mortgage. He would much rather be working. This state is a 'no fault' state and the person who hit him and the store got a $45 fine from a judge who said there was nothing else he could do.

Answer 3

Go pick me some fruit then, and Shut the F-Up. Illegal immigrants contribute to the economy just as you do, by PAYING TAXES, even the social is false or a randomly generated number that corresponds with someone. In any case, they can't collect income tax if the number is false, so that's unclaimed money, plus all other taxes. I blame the middle class family that pay the cleaning lady the $50 bucks to clean her house (under the table) --- they are the root of illegality and hypcrisy!!

Answer 4

I think it is a joke. I am not against illegals as people because if I were in there shoes I would try to come here also. But as a legal resident, I see the impact they have on wages for legal workers. Why would I hire someone at $10hr + taxes when I could hire someone for $5 or $6hr. The gov't needs to go after employers before doing anyting about the legal status of people.

Answer 5

My taxes also pay for the people dishonestly claiming disability while getting work under the table. My taxes pay for many programs I don't agree with. My taxes are paying for the cable tv, dentists, doctors and internet time for people who are in prison for having committed unspeakable acts against children.

But...they also put food on the table for the kids of a parent whose spouse earned all the money and just took off and cleaned out the bank accounts. They also pay for a child to have a needed operation that his parents just can't afford. They also pay for research that helps make the lives better for many people with debilitating diseases.

Sometimes, you just have to take the good with the bad and figure it all comes out in the wash.

Answer 6

Um - in the Mesilla Valley where I grew up and where quite a few illegals work in the fields at hard labor, it's the corporate farms that're paying them, not your taxes! Did ya know a migrant laborer picking fruit can earn up to two bucks an hour? Jeez, ain't it outrageous how rich that wage is making them! They all be driving Bentleys and dressing their wives in diamonds and gold. Why, it makes me so mad I could just plotz!

Answer 7

Why don't you ask the Republicans and sweatshops with multi-million dollar no-bid government contracts who hire them that question? They are the criminals!

I wonder what you would be saying if you had no workers to pick your crops and they all rotted on the ground! I think you would be singing a different tune!

Answer 8

I don't know man , it bothers me more that our tax paying dollars are giving criminals, all the luxuries we have to pay for like good food, free cable TV , swimming pools, sports, and Internet! Or and did you know the guy who killed, raped and tortured your child, gets a free education and may get out to make more than you and me? Not to mention, fat cat politicians who BS you then steal your money to buy Armani suites and drive around in expensive cars. You are slaving to fatten up his retirement fund!
So an illegal helping build our economy, no they don't bother me !

Answer 9

I personal think it is a bunch of crap. I'm sick of my taxes paying for THEIR social programs. I tired of my taxes going to THEIR schools while I have to pay more for my child to go to a private school because the school down the street is filled with English learners.

Answer 10

i'm not too thrilled about it but how do you know this to be true. also, if it IS the case, wouldn't the tax money user (for illegal workers) be also a tax-payer? he's dipping into his own tax $$$...hum!
