This jackass is as dumb as a box of rocks.
“Just how can they pay income taxes without using fake or stolen documents ?”
I’m in mexifornia and a person I know personally who became a naturalized citizen a year ago started as an illegal for many years. The difference is that he/she registered her ITIN which allows them to pay taxes because the objective was to get a green card, then to citizenship. In order to apply for a permanent resident card, they will need to show proof that he/she was paying taxes, employed legally and not leeching off the system.
“According to some recent independent studies there’s proof that illegal immigrants are filing taxes.”
The correct language is “illegal immigrants are filing tax returns.” The dummies in the news media do not know the difference between filing an income tax return and paying income taxes. Illegals file tax returns that have low income and no income tax due. They do it in order to get a TIN (taxpayer identification number) that they can use as a form of indentity. One person can get multiple TIN’s by filing multiple phony tax returns. There were illegals who got home mortgages a few years ago doing this, of course they defaulted and the rest of us paid.
Also, illegal aliens who have U.S. citizen anchor babies file tax returns in order to get the refundable child tax credits. Thankfully, at this time they cannot get the earned income tax credit refunds without a valid SSN. They don’t pay income taxes. They are parasites!
This is such BS! Deport the illegals and give the jobs to anyone legal and let them pay the taxes! No I don’t care if they’ve been here 5 years. They are illegal Period. What is so hard about this?
hell half of american citizens don’t pay income tax and many get rebates. to be fair we should tax the poor.
It's virtually a capital offense to ask about immigration status in Calf. How do they know?
.. also and just as important "paying income tax" can mean filing and getting thousands of dollars in Earned Income "refunds" without ever paying a penny in taxes. Some ILLEGALs manage to do that.
“Fake or stolen documents....” yes, 25-50 million times (MSM and Government lies about the 12 million illegal estimate), in fact.
When an illegal Mexican steals a social security number and it is the number of a currently-paying member, the SSA keeps track and separately logs payments, etc. to that number. That is why the SSA asks so many questions when you apply for your benefits, to include VERY SPECIFIC questions about sundry odd years of logged income amounts during one’s career (I’ve been there).....suffice it to say, if there is anyone out there that does not think the SSA looks the other way on duplicate numbers and contributions, you are a fool. It is a simple programming task to sift through the data.
That said, the most common tactic for illegal Mexicans is to use a false SS number and take the hit for the 7.65% Social Security contribution (what Democrats call Payroll Tax)but claim multiple exemptions/deductions so their state and federal income tax assessments are virtually nil. They will then claim the EITC benefit at the end of the year, all the while they are collecting WICs, AFDC, SNAP and whatever damned giveaway this administration is aching to give them....
You see these freeloading invaders daily, at K-Mart, WalMart, at Kroger, everywhere. They walk freely, they spend your dollars with WICs, SNAP and SCHIP...they speak only spanish and they are taking you for everything you’re worth.....your government helps them.
It is illegal for anyone to hire an illegal alien to work and it is illegal for an illegal alien to work. Paying taxes just legitimizes the illegal activity.
What income? They're getting paid under the table in non-traceable cash. That's how they're eligible for food stamps.
“Infact a 2010 study by the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy found California got $2.7 billion dollars from illegal immigrants including sales, property and income tax.”
Sure, Juan has to pay sales tax if he wants to walk out the door with his purchases and doesn’t want the checker calling security, and the county auditor will put his home in the tax sale if he doesn’t pay property taxes.
The only incentive I can see for him to file an income tax return is to receive the `tax credits’ (`refunds’) that a lot of people who pay no income taxes receive.
I’m going to search `Mexico’s honorary counsel’ Blanca Azuza, or whatever her nombre is, see if she’s a member of `The Race.’ The bottom line is that illegals are costing us a hell of a lot more than they contribute, as this article suggests.
Headline should be: American citizenship for sale.
