Undocumented immigrants who’ve been paying taxes in the US are facing an unsettling possibility: This year, that may be used against them.
A recent data-sharing deal between the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security is sparking widespread concern in immigrant communities – though some details about how the deal could work haven’t been disclosed.
The agreement has left many undocumented immigrants feeling hesitant to pay taxes this year and uncertain about what to do, according to advocates.
“A lot of people are feeling betrayed,” says Adriana Rivera of the Florida Immigrant Coalition.
Here’s a look at what’s happening and why it matters:
- Some who’ve paid taxes for years now are scared to file and ‘freaking out’
- We don’t know some key details about how the data-sharing agreement would work
- But the move is already facing at least one legal challenge
- How undocumented immigrants pay taxes — and why
- Experts say the new policy could cost billions in lost revenue

Join the club.
Our taxes have been used against us for years.
And we are legal.
How many do you think are paying taxes?
If thy have, who’s SSN are they using?
CNN? You must question every word they print or say.
Give me a friggin’ break. These far left SOB STORIES are getting worse every day. Illegals paying taxes. ROTFL! Don’t tell me, they have to sell the diapers the government issues them to pay their taxes. ROTFL!!! You creepy libs in the “media” have lost it and have gone over the edge. The only way they maggots are paying taxes is when they buy beer and cigarettes.
CNN: Don’t betray them. We need them for the midterms.
I would really like to see the stats... if they can actually be true, of the amount of illegals, “Who Paid Taxes in Good Faith”....
Yes, I’ve avoided prosecution for years by filling out the Occupation box of the 1040 as “bank robber”.
Our taxes have been squandered by these parasites in government much more than we realized. You are illegal you broke the law being here and thought by paying taxes, if you paid taxes at all and all is ok. Consider your taxes as payment for your social programs you signed up for and receive
Hilarious.
Most excellent, in a way the illegals have paid their trip back to whatever craphole they came from.
So according to CNN, paying taxes should allow illegal aliens to break our laws.
Gee now i get why not paying taxes is considered such a serious crime. I never understood we weren’t paying taxes we were paying an extortion fee to be allowed to break the law, well so long as you are an alphabet pervert / illegal alien at least.
What an insane argument.
you pay some taxes and that makes you exempt from breaking the law
how much taxes do I have to pay to get a free pass on murder?
They broke the law being here.
They didn’t break tax laws.
They feel betrayed.
Huh.
Oh boo hoo, cry me a river, how many ILLEGALS pay taxes, smh.
rotflol
That was my first thought. How can paying taxes on a stolen or made up SSN be considered, “good faith”?
Good faith, my derriere.
The Florida Immigrant Coalition. Wow.... Wouldn’t it be so cool if Adriana Rivera got deported. :)
Now that I think about it...
Good faith that they wouldn’t be caught and deported...?
It’s really gratifying to know illegals were paying up
at the same time Hunter Biden was evading taxes....../s.
