I agree with you completely on the harm that undocumented workers cause our system. But, as a conservative, I kind of like Jose Illegal's avoidance of taxes...
We should also consider that it is not Jose's fault that the system works this way. Big business and small business thrive on the work of low-paid, often illegal, workers. Let's not forget that Republicans clamor constantly for less government involvement in our lives and even less regulation in business. So, are you asking the government to step in and start checking EVERY business for undocumented workers?
Wow! YOu know the truth!! ( whatever ).
Jose does pay taxes my friend. Do a little of research. The government has figured out a way to collect from him. How? with a fake S.S.number.that PEDRO makes up.
The IRS gives ITIN numbers to try and match the money reported by many employers. Why does the government gives those ITINs? (The government is not stupid)
Under the table you say. Sorry, JOe can do that too. But where you are wrong is when you assume "EVery illegal gets money under the table".Not true.
More taxes paid by ilegals is when they spend their money here. Many have their family here. You see them buying cars, buying electronics, buying food, buying gasoline everyday and even houses, and I 'll tell you more... ""
Businesses don't have a freaking problem selling to ilegals they want their money too""". EVery business that has a profit. Pays taxes. PEDRO, JOSE, MARIA, EVEN jOE helped the government get the money they suposedly need. You know that!.
I also wished you could ask the SSA How much money is piled up because the numbers don't match. It's a huuuuuge number.
Illegals won't get SS.
They don't get unemployment.
The don't get none of the stimulus money everybody is so happy about.
