True or false; the VAST majority of illegal immigrants are men who collect no benefits? What tax drain?

Question

They supply a work force that DOESN'T collect benefits, pays sales tax and pays rent....tax drain my @ss.

What about social security? They work off the books

tx trott: I notice your use of the word "we". Do you speak for a larger group of nitwits?

Answer 1

True.

Many of these are predominately young males who leave behind families to work for relatively meager wages here stateside. Because they are not on payroll and lack necessary documentation, they are LESS, not more, likely to apply for and collect benefits.

***when immigrants have family members who live back in their home country and they constantly send them money. This is taking American money out of the circulation of the U.S. economy and placing it in the circulation of a foreign economy.***

Eh, is money that these immigrants EARNED. What they do with their money is their business. Since when is there a requirement to spend their hard-earned pay here in the states? I purchase products directly from other countries, effectivly putting American money into foreign circulation. That must make me "unpatriotic" in your isolationist view. Ever think of immigrants sending this money back to their families as their way of actually IMPROVING the quality of life in their homelands? Your argument lacks any merit.

Answer 2

I am not sure where you get your information or if you are just making this stuff up as you go. Pay rent and sales tax? There is no way out of it. They work through temp agencies so they get no benefits. They also can't claim income taxes at the end of the year and get any money back. Why do you think the government that is full of "elected officials" that won't actually do anything about them. They are all taking money from the corporations that benefit from the illegals. You see a token raid once a year or a bunch of cheap talk but that's as far as they go. Just enough to keep the public shut up.

The only way they are draining you is through the welfare and medical system. They knock up the women as soon as possible because as soon as they have a litter of kids, they are citizens (the kids) and get free cheese and medical benefits. They know the system and the ways around it. Mexico also fights for us to keep them because of all the money they send home. They can buy all the chili peppers and re-fried beans they want and It keeps their economy going.

The only way to really fix the problem is to get a new set of elected officials that won't bow to the corporate money and line their own pockets.

Answer 3

Even if the vast majority of them are as you say, which I believe to be true, there are still those who do and whose children do. Regardless of what you feel on the matter, that does indeed constitute an unnecessary tax drain. In addition illegal immigration compounds a problem caused by almost every recent immigrant society; when immigrants have family members who live back in their home country and they constantly send them money. This is taking American money out of the circulation of the U.S. economy and placing it in the circulation of a foreign economy.

Furthermore, there is certainly a legitimate grievance that opponents of illegal immigration have; that is to say it is grossly irresponsible to have nearly twenty million undocumented people in the country. Immigration reform is a serious issue and needs to be handled with thought and a sound mind. A solution needs to be brought about that insures both intelligent national security (which is certainly not a damn border fence; its not the eighteenth century anymore), and also thoughtful in terms of our economic needs.

Answer 4

From my experience, probably false. I walked into my local health department to get a copy of my birth certificate the other day; the only people that were in there were immigrants (speaking Spanish), with 2-3 kids each. I'm sure these people are receiving some sort of benefits.

I had to go back the next day, and to my surprise, the same thing. So, from my experience, I would say a lot of these immigrants are receiving benefits, not sure how many. I would say too many though. Enough to pay for health care for our own nation's children.

Answer 5

My neighbor was having a difficult time finding a construction job because the companies were hiring illegal immigrants who did not demand as much pay, who did not expect health care benefits and who they could pay under the table. My city has begun to crack down and now my neighbor, who is a very hard worker with 3 kids has a job and can pay his bills without having to look at the state for money.

Illegal workers not only take jobs from Americans, they get free medical care in our hospitals which I have to pay for when my bill is doubled because of the free care given to those without health care. Their children receive free schooling, which I pay for when I pay my property taxes and state and federal taxes.

I am not against immigrants, they are what make up this country, but it's those that are in this country illegally, who are breaking our laws and taking advantage of our social programs that are giving the immigrants who worked hard to be in this country and who went through the proper channels a bad name.

Answer 6

The fact is that they SHOULD be paying taxes if they want to work here. I have worked in the behavioral health field for years. Part of the job is helping illegals obtain welfare benefits for counseling, drugs, food stamps, etc.
Needless to say, I left the job because I didn't want to be part of that. Believe it or not, the Federal government allocates funds for this. And pays for interpreters and babysitters.

Answer 7

FBI information: extra desirable than forty 3% of all foodstuff stamps issued are to unlawful extraterrestrial beings extra desirable than forty-one% of all unemployment exams are issued to unlawful extraterrestrial beings fifty 8% of all welfare money are issued to unlawful extraterrestrial beings almost 60% of all occupants of HUD residences are unlawful extraterrestrial beings i think of it must be extra desirable than the sanctuary cities! you will hear the pro-unlawful immigration human beings asserting that illegals pay taxes. that's genuine yet for each $one million.00 paid in taxes they use $17,000 in amenities. an stunning return on investment for them (you get screwed)! in addition they're going to say that they could no longer assemble those amenities for the reason that's unlawful! So i think the unlawful alien in PA wasn't murdered because of the fact he wasn't here for the reason which would be unlawful!

Answer 8

FALSE
i am not sure if its true or false, my first thought was false, but the illegal immigrants are killing our economy...putting citizens out of work by working for less then minimum wage, and then saying "we only do what you don´t want to do" i was a harvester...mainly potato harvester, too many non-English speaking people working for 2 dollars an hour ran me off my 5.50 an hour job :( which i had for four years...being a white male over 21, i was in the street with no job, no money, and no place to go, and the local help centers told me to my face this : "you are not a female, nor are you a Mexican, so, we can not help you, the door is behind you"

i know this answer sounds racist, i am not against any race, but i know what its like to be hungry, no place to live, and walked on by illegals.

this country is being killed my the illegal immigration.

Answer 9

What about all the hospital emergency rooms that have shut down because they by law have to provide care to ANYONE WHO SHOWS UP WEATHER THEY CAN PAY OR NOT.
The illegal community use the emergency rooms as there family doctor for free. I have a friends mother die because she had to travel an extra 10 minutes to get to a trauma center because the one by her home had shut down because the hospital could no longer afford to stay open due to illegals.

Answer 10

Absolutely false.

With a fake social security number, they receive free health care, send their illegal kids to our schools, receive food stamps, and subsidized housing. Not to mention working under the table and paying no income tax at all. But at the end of the year file false tax claims.
