Maybe you can explain to me how they came up with a figure of $9000 even if they were basing it on social security - no freaking way any illegal is making that kind of money. More likely they are in a $25,000 range which would only mean withholding of about $2000 a year

FICA taxes are only one federal tax. The withholding taxes on wages earned is more than your F.I.C.A. taxes paid.

This is 'free' money to the federal government.
