The undocumented workers can't open a bank account, can't pay into Social security

Wrong on both counts. Many have bank accounts; most prefer to deal in cash, as they are untrusting of financial institutions.

Most illegals are paying into Social Security. They pay payroll tax. That's automatic and mandatory. When they get their paycheck, 7.65% has automatically been deducted for FICA, plus their employer has to kick in another 7.65%. The illegals receive paychecks. Very few are paid in cash under the table. They just use false or stolen or duplicate SS numbers.

They just use false or stolen or duplicate SS numbers.

Actually, they don't even have to, anymore. They are now given TINs -- taxpayer ID numbers. It's called stealth amnesty. There are so many types of unofficial, illegal amnesty that the various state governments and the feds have fabricated, that I can't keep them all straight.

Didn't we just have a thread saying some 28% of (BROKE) LA County work 'under the table' & are paid TAX FREE CASH.

You think MILLIONS on street corners daily are getting paychecks or CASH ???

Try this one, go to any bank and open an account without Soc.Sec. number. You will find out that it is impossible.
As far as employment is concerned, you can't legally get hired, because information on the federal forms are missing in that case. Without Soc. Sec. # what account would an employer use to pay payroll taxes into?
Simple: No soc. Sec. # , no Bank account, No legal job, no payroll taxes.
