when I think about it, I don't give a fuck if illegals are here really. I'd rather NOT pay for them through taxes but what are you gonna do. I don't feel sorry for them or whatever, they work hard, fuck it...they'll eventually get better. www.fairtax.org
One study from several years ago says the illegals cost us $10B/yr. Whether the study is conclusive or accurate is a question that is begged. In any case, $10B works out to about $1.60/week per person in the workforce. Per capita, it's $.33/week. I think tax on a gallon of gasoline in California might be $1.60... Small price to pay for 10M+ workers who work below minimum wage level. You certainly benefit $.33/week for cheaper agricultural products alone. advocate.
So 2 out of 3 illegals in this country know about these forms, fill them out and file taxes with the IRS? I find that number highly suspect personally. Especially when you consider the non-working women and children. 2 out of 3 of the kids filed income taxes? Laughable. Wikipedia has this: In 2006 1.4 million people used ITIN when filing taxes. These numbers LIKELY include other people other than illegal border jumpers. Seems like this bitch is making shit up.
The illegals want a track record of paying their taxes with the hope they'll get amnesty. Plus they actually might give a damn. If you read the article a little more closely, you'll see that she says that many illegals file with someone else's SSN, not just ITINs, and for that they'll never see $.01 of medicare or social security or unemployment insurance, etc.
Do you honestly believe 2 out of 3 illegal immigrants in this country file federal tax returns? Have you ever worked with illegal immigrants? I have, and I highly doubt they file returns on the magnitude which this author fabricates.
The IRS numbers don't lie. They can see that the name on the tax return doesn't match the name on the SS card.
Did you (or your employer) withhold taxes on the illegal immigrants? Or did you (or your employer) pay them cash? barfo
This just shows how fucked our current taxation system is, if true. If you can just steal these numbers and then these taxes are on the order of $50 billion dollars per year...wow. just wow.
straight cash yo! Actually maybe they were legal, I don't know. I didn't ask. Usually hire them @ $10 an hour to move boxes and files, shred documents, furniture, etc.
Well, then perhaps the problem is not so much with the illegal alien, but the employer, in this case. barfo
From the local San Diego newspaper: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20040415/news_1n15taxes.html More than 7.4 million immigrants have been issued the (ITIN) taxpayer numbers since 1996 – more than a million each of the past three years – and "in all likelihood the number of Forms 1040 with ITINs will increase," according to a Treasury Department report released in January. Because the taxpayer numbers cannot be used to get a job, many of the tax returns filed with the numbers come attached with W-2 employer forms showing a fake or fraudulent Social Security number.
I don't have a problem with illegals. I really don't give a shit what they do personally. Like I said, I'm against all government financial aid, not only to illegals.
