According to the IRS, in 2001 individuals paying taxes with an ITIN, rather than a Social Security number (i.e. illegal aliens; the only individuals who have a need for or qualify for an ITIN are those without citizenship or lawful permanent residency) paid $305 million in federal income taxes. Calculated against 8 million illegal aliens, that’s a per capita federal tax payment of $38.13, and against 12 million illegal aliens, that’s a per capita federal tax payment of only $25.42. Since neither payment indicates earnings that would allow an individual to survive for one year, we can conclude only that there is persistent, massive tax non-compliance among illegal immigrants.
The millions of illegal aliens in America are very grateful this Thanksgiving Day for your contributions to their welfare. They will be eternally grateful for the "Title 8 of the US Code laws be damned" attitude that our President has.
Is there anything that makes it illegal (or impossible) for an illegal alien (which could include asylum seekers whose applications are not yet approved or which may be denied) to have a Social Security Number?
Hardly. Legal immigrants are by far more likely to embrace American culture and celebrate our holidays than those stealing their way into the U.S. The liklihood is greater, in part, because they have some family base attachment to America through marriage, etc.. unlike a border hopper. Those stealing into the U.S. naturally will less likely attempt to assimilate for fear of apprehension - but will flock with their own covey, shunning American culture.
Dammit, man!!!
Did the article say all of the immigrants mentioned are here illegally??? No?
Thought so.
What was the purpose of your post, then?
