“For starters, more than half and up to three-quarters of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are working “on the books,” which means they’re paying federal and state income taxes, just like the rest of us. They are also paying Social Security and Medicare taxes,....”
total BS.
Got any proof?
On this particular issue, the immigration hardliners want minimize the number of illegals working in the formal economy. Minimize the number of illegals paying taxes.
OTOH, when the issue switches to Social Security Totalization, the hardliners switch gears and maximize the number of illegals working in the formal economy. Maximize the number of illegals paying taxes.
