Pandemic brings more hardships for Georgia’s unauthorized (illegal) immigrants (aliens)
AJC ^ | 7/23/21 | Lizzie Kane, Lautaro Grinspan

Her family’s belongings are already packed into boxes and stacked inside the two-bedroom apartment where she lives - for now - with her husband and daughter.

Soon, the 57-year-old Roswell resident said, they could be homeless.

**SNIP**

The woman, who doesn’t speak English fluently, is from Mexico. She requested anonymity because she lacks legal status to be in this country. Since losing her job during the pandemic, she’s gotten financial help from a church and a grant from the Latin American Association of Atlanta (LAA), but the aid hasn’t been nearly enough to cover all the rent her family owes.

**SNIP**

“I haven’t been able to sleep knowing I might get kicked out,” said the Roswell woman, adding that she doesn’t know where her family will go. “This is difficult. It’s the destruction of a family, of a home, and nobody cares.”

**SNIP**

State Rep. Alan Powell, R-Hartwell, said he does not believe that any type of federal assistance is warranted.

“The first word is ‘illegal,’” he said. “If they are here without documentation, then they shouldn’t be here.”

**SNIP**

The couple now owes nearly $8,000 in back rent. The woman said she and her husband have gone entire days in the past year without eating. Their 16-year-old daughter, an honors student, has grown increasingly anxious about their living situation.

“I know that we are not from this country, but we’ve contributed a lot, lot, lot, lot,” she continued. “If I had papers, I wouldn’t be going through any of this.”

There it is.

but we’ve contributed a lot, lot, lot, lot, . . .

Please provide a list of 3 things you've contributed to American society--do not include 'provided cheap labor to corrupt members of the local chamber of commerce.'

The Roswell resident said she has been a taxpayer since she first moved to the U.S. and began working 25 years ago. One of the boxes that lines the walls of her home contains copies of her many tax returns, she said.

So who's SSN has she been using and why hasn't the IRS caught this at some point?

One doesn't need a SSN to legitimately file returns with the IRS. Not saying that she not using a stollen number, just pointing out that there are several ways it can be done.

If you are here in America illegally then yu should be thrown the hell out.
Starting your stay here in any illegal fashion then you are a criminal and should be treated as such.

She was working for someone and that takes a SSN.

But paying taxes is not the point...illegal entry is the point.

“Our client population isn’t aware of what the moratorium is. They don’t understand what their rights are,” Amin said.

If they don't bother to learn their "rights" prior to illegally entering the country, I wonder why they all decide to illegally enter the USA? Why not Venezuela or Cuba?

You learn something new everyday... An illegal alien can file their taxes with an ITIN. Seriously. What a joke.

_____________

I’d be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts they’ve received MORE in tax returns than they ever paid in. Leeches.

“The couple now owes nearly $8,000 in back rent.”

I’ll bet this isn’t the first landlord they’ve stiffed out of thousands of dollars. No SSN so it’s hard to track them down.

Liar. They get food from the church.

Yes, 1.5 more years and they don’t get the child tax credit anymore.

“The Roswell resident said she has been a taxpayer since she first moved to the U.S. and began working 25 years ago.”

Been here 25 years and still doesn’t speak the English language fluently? Truly they’re not sending their best.

“unauthorized (illegal) immigrants (aliens)”

The correct term these days is “People experiencing unauthorized immigration”

GTFO! These parasites have been sucking us dry for years. We have over 400,000 illegals in GA and they use the ER like the doctors office and they all manage to get snap cards or WIC.

I don’t call these people human garbage for nothing.

For 25 years this criminal has been thumbing her nose at the system and getting way with it. Tough s**t senora, get out of my country.

Good point 47% of income tax filers pay no income tax. By her own admission she’s a criminal.
