When they protest in the streets, they continually claim they pay taxes - I’ve never figured out how you can pay taxes without a legal social security number, or why you would even try.

Geesh! They provide their employer with a fake SS number....the withheld payroll taxes are sent in quarterly by the employer to the US treasury...no refunds given on tax returns...it's FOUND MONEY to the federal and state coffers.

It's one of the main reasons the governments are slow to correct it. It's helping keep social security solvent.

At least that's what I'm told.
