Becasue other than sales tax on the things they buy they pay no taxes!
They are ILLEGAL, they have no REAL SOCIAL SECURITY numbers, they work under the table and mostly for cash.

Many illegal immigrants are working in jobs where they are being paid cash, so they are not paying those taxes. But, paying taxes is only one part of the problem with illegal immigrants.
You are breaking the law by being here. I have a problem with criminals who break the law and then think people should just change the law to suit them.
Go back home, and then come into the United States the correct way. I will welcome you then.

Some do, some don't. It's the "why" and "how" we're suspicious of. Anyway, the taxes that are paid hardly provide a subsidy to the billions Americans pay for medical and insurance bills that go unpaid every year because of illegals - via lost revenue from hospitals and health care premium hikes. Not to mention all the Federal and State money that goes into keeping illegals out in the first place.
You can't kill 10 people and then expect to be forgiven for saving one is how the analogy goes.

Most don't. Day labors do not and it doesn't matter if they are legal illegal, US citizens, or from outer space.
No documents are used in day labors or any identification who they are.
Farm workers are hire though a contractor who in turn is paid by the owner. So the contractor just pays very little after he does his write so little to nothing is paid my the worker.
The others use false Id so all that is taken is minimal on social security.
Which is almost nothing in costs.
They might pay sales tax but little because they buy at flea markets and yard sales and food is not taxes.
Poor people of any group don't pay taxes they get tax credits. lol
I rest my case.

Could it be that it is because illegals don't pay a dime if they have to go to the ER yet we legals have to pay for our bills?
If you don't pay, isn't it free?
Why should we legals pay for illegals free hospital visits when illegals are not supposed to be here at all?
Answer those question for me if you care to?
I know this is going to come as a shock to you but this country does not belong to illegals contrary to what Mr. Bush thinks.
Understand?
Do you have any understanding about obeying US immigration laws? Do you?

Because they don't have a social security number and therefore do not pay income tax. They do pay sales taxes, but they don't pay income taxes. I know this because I used to work for a restaurant as a cashier and on pay day, they all cashed out their paychecks at the register and taxes were not taken out of their checks. A lot of employers pay them in cash anyway.

Because when you think of an illegal immigrant, you think of people standing in front of Home Depot waiting to get a cash paying job. While this happens, the majority of illegal immigrants use fake SS cards and IDs to get jobs in every field. I've even run across an illegal immigrant working in an office environment. These people all pay taxes and Social Security benefits. Not to mention that they boost the economy by paying sales tax on everything they buy. Yes, they may use social programs that costs us taxpayers money but remember that they also pay taxes so they should be able to use these services.......good luck!

My input on this is that a few years ago someone(?) used my social security number illegally. It caused big problems for me with the IRS. I was audited for many years prior because in a six month period a huge increase was reported on my SS#.
I pay taxes and don't use medical and social resources like so many illegals use.

Apparently illegals don't know what taxes are. They think it means sales tax. That is wrong it means having around 30% of more of your income taken out of your paycheck. Then filing a tax return and possibly owing more to uncle sam. If you are not legal, you are not paying taxes....period.

Because they don't.
The majority get paid cash, under the table. So, now you are going to tell me that their employers are taking out tax money from their cash payment to sent to the government.
Naw, ain't gonna fly.
The only taxes they might pay is for food and alcohol.
