"They pay taxes. They pay a larger percentage of their incomes in taxes than you do."
Explain to me exactly how an illegal immigrant who is paid in cash and has no social security number can pay taxes. They buy everything at yard sales, so they don't even pay their fair share of sales tax.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Every time they buy something at a store, they pay sales tax. Part of the rent they pay goes to property tax. Most likely they *do* have income (etc) taxes withheld from their pay. It goes on from there.

These are not bad people. They work hard. Harder than most of the rest of "us" do. All they want is a better life than what they could have had where they used to live.
