NJJ - 2015-08-08 9:16 PM They DO pay federal income tax. There are plenty of them (undocumented) in the meat packing industry (among other employers). They either use a "false" identification or SS # or the Employers have them apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.  They can get one of them with a foreign birth certificate, driver's license, passport, etc. This number has nothing to do with immigration. The U.S. government could care less, as long as they get their tax $$$$.

vjls - 2015-08-08 8:31 PM how do the get a drivers license? 

NJJ - 2015-08-08 9:52 PM Twelve states and the District of Columbia enacted laws to allow unauthorized immigrants to obtain a driver’s licenses. The states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Vermont and Washington, they will issue a license if they provide documentation, such as a foreign birth certificate, a foreign passport, etc. and evidence of current residency in the state.



Yes, Karen, many are paid under the table but there are millions that are working in restaurants, motels, meat packing plants, production plants, etc., etc. that are paying "federal" taxes. Like I mentioned....The employers could care less because they get them cheaper and as employee tax deductions and our government could care less as long as they get the $$$$

Stitch4k9 - 2015-08-08 11:15 PM They pay plenty of taxes.  Payroll, sales tax, etc..  



It is so easy to blame Mexico.  How about blaming the people who are hiring them??   The ones who are employing illegals are doing more damage to this country than the illegals are.   Look at what it has done to wages in the construction industry.  How many of us have been in barns where there are several working?  Does that not take jobs from citizens?  



Yes, those who enter the country illegally have broken laws.  Those who hire them have broken laws and thumbed their noses at fellow citizens.  So who is more at fault?

 alot are also paid under the table.

I'm a Texan and have seen the immigration problem first hand for decades.  Why don't we go to the source.  MEXICO.  Once we hold their feet to the fire, their citizen will have a respectable land to call their own.   We need to address the total corruption in Mexico and it's leadership, ie., government, cartel and police.  How 'bout some sanctions for them to get their doodoo in order?

There is only one problem with the whole "they pay taxes BS". They get a lot more  in services then they pay in.  

streakysox - 2015-08-08 10:17 AM A city in CA just elected not one but two illegal immigrants to their city council. So now they have people who break the law making the laws for the city. America, land of opportunity.

I don't care what age you are and have been in the USA for ages ... it is time to go back to the country you came from and still claim citizenship in so you can make a difference in saving your own country.

I see you waving another country's flag and berating the American flag constantly and belligerently demanding more and more freebies from the America that you hate ... it is time your butt was thrown back across the border with no holds barred!!

Don't forget the huge illegal population that must go also ... our state dept and other government agencies are busy with flipping them to refugee status which is a crock of doo doo .... and they are here to overthrow our government ... period!!

The easy solution is to STOP ALL IMMIGRATION AND SEAL ALL FOUR BORDERS OF THE USA ... and start deporting any and all illegals regardless of where you find them .... EMPTYING OUR PRISON'S IS THE FIRST MOVE TO BE MADE AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY ON PRISON COSTS .... and be firm on the fact that illegals have no legal standing to use any of our court systems or laws to remain her on any pretext they might have ... ANOTHER SAVINGS ON ALL THE PUBLIC DEFENDER AND COURT COSTS THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW ...

and while we are at it repeal the 14th amendment to end the nonsense of being born in the USA gives you automatic citizenship... AND REPEAL THE 16TH AND 17TH AMENDMENTS ...
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD START ....

FLITASTIC - 2015-09-08 9:26 AM I will help Build the Wall on weekends even!!! I saw on the TV the other day about the real " Conair". Where they fly murders and rapists for FREE by private lear jet to court appearances all over the USA because they are always in some form of appeal from their convictions. Don't we have a way to have those just kind of disappear?

cavyrunsbarrels - 2015-09-08 12:11 PM


I'll go down and help build the d@mn wall too! And yes, we should put some of those drones to good use and shoot down the "conair" planes.
