I hired some illegals once, I didn't know they were illegals at the time. They had the necessary paperwork to complete their I-9's, so I put them through our payroll procedures.

They (seven in total) worked for me for about ten months, then one day, one of them shows up and hands me a green card with a whole different name than the original one he had given me, this was when Reagan gave a bunch of illegals amnesty. This was his real card, and his real name, I never saw the other six again.

I would venture to guess that not one of those guys filed an income tax return, not one got a penny back.

I know that the guy who actually came back did not file a return for the false name.

This story is repeated over and over again, with illegals everywhere.

Now, I'm not saying that this is OK, what I am saying is that when illegals work under fake ID's, what taxes they pay stay with the Feds.

And most employers will not hire anyone w/out the proper paperwork to cover their own behinds.

Illegals are illegals, there's no need to find more fault with them, the mere fact that they are here illegally is enough to deport them.

Thanks for the explanation; you should have said that in the first place, instead of bringing up gasoline taxes.
