President Barack Obama and his surrogates argue that the president’s executive actions will hold illegal immigrants accountable and force them to pay their “fair share of taxes.” However there is a big question as to whether these illegal immigrants will be a net gain or loss to the Treasury.
Thursday night, President Obama announced a series of executive actions on immigration, including providing legal status to nearly five million illegal immigrants.
While part of Obama’s argument for legalizing millions of immigration law breakers is that they will now have to pay taxes, Fox Business’ Stuart Varney, Avik Roy at Forbes, and others point out that in fact many will actually be receiving money from the government because their income is so low.
“The president says you can stay and work if you pay taxes. Here’s the problem: Many of the people who are now allowed to stay do not earn enough to pay federal or state income taxes,” Varney said Friday on Fox News. “In fact they earn so little that they may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit. That’s a check from the taxpayer to them in January because they earn so little.”(continued)

Illegal Aliens are already getting Millions In Monthly Welfare Checks
Judicial Watch JULY 14, 2009

On the verge of going bankrupt with an astounding $26.3 billion deficit, the nation’s most populous state is considering saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually by cutting monthly welfare payments to illegal immigrants.
The savings doesn’t even include the billions of dollars that California spends annually to educate, incarcerate and medically treat the 2.7 million illegal aliens (7% of the state’s population) who live in the state that has so generously offered them sanctuary for decades. It turns out that legislators are finally realizing that illegal immigrants are draining their precious Golden State.
That’s why California officials, extremely generous with tax dollars in the past, are trying to find a way to eliminate welfare payments to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants. The move, which has caused outrage among the state’s powerful open borders lobby, would save a much-needed $640 million a year.
An example of who the state cuts the monthly checks to is an unemployed 43-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico who gets $650 a month for each of her four children and about $500 in federal food stamps and other vouchers.
Its still chump change compared to what the state spends—between $4 billion and $6 billion annually—on schools, jails and hospitals for illegal immigrants. That doesn’t even include other local government costs such as police and fire, road maintenance and other public services.
The biggest chunk—$2.3 billion—goes to educating about 300,000 illegal immigrant children at public schools throughout the state. California expects to spend around $834 million to incarcerate nearly 20,000 illegal aliens in fiscal year 2009-2010 and well over $700 million to medically treat close to 800,000 illegal immigrants.
More than half the healthcare money will go to emergency services but a substantial portion will pay for nonemergency health services such as abortions, prenatal and postpartum care and even nursing homes.
Not county workers typically, especially not in Colorado.

they send a lot of their money out of the country. not declared, i don’t have no money. i’m poor. i get benefits not taxes.
Of course they will, it’s all part of the plan..
Look on the bright side, though. At least social security won’t be going broke as soon, what with all the illegals pitching in now. Gracias, Jorge. /s
Roger that. I went Galt myself, over a year ago.
Right now, illegal aliens can get a tax payer ID number. They can and do, fill out tax papers, claiming they are supporting “X” number of children in their home country. They can claim nieces and nephews, that they are supposedly supporting. They get child tax credits cash, from the IRS. They are totally laughing at America. No one is covering this. It is billions of dollars! Go to any welfare/food stamp office, and it is filled with illegal aliens. So people are upset that they might get social security numbers? They already gave tax payer ID numbers. And in regard to some of the propaganda...we have always had migrant workers from other countries. They are not here illegally!!!
I left the US in 2001 headed to Okinawa for my last assignment in the Army. Have lived overseas in both the Philippines and Thailand with a 2yr gig in Iraq thrown in ever since. Cost of living is cheaper overseas. Have no plan on ever moving back to the US.
That’s the plan.
