The Taxes Debate

Even illegal immigrants pay their share of taxes. They pay local and state taxes every time they buy clothes, cars, gas and other goods. Illegal immigrants also own homes and pay the corresponding property taxes. By the way, they pay a much higher interest rate than the average American, just for not having a social security number. Also, they pay real estate taxes even when renting, embedded in the rent payment. For the above reasons, they are as entitled as anybody else to use the education system.

In addition, most of them have a tax id that is issued by the IRS for federal tax reporting purposes and even when using fraudulent SSNs federal taxes are subtracted from their paychecks. Not to mention all the contributions made to the social security system that will go unclaimed. I can assure you we are sharing the responsibilities. 

“At the current rate it is estimated that in the period 1998 –2022, this amount will be $500 billion (SS).  In 1997, the U.S. reaped a $50 billion surplus from taxes paid by immigrants to all levels of government."
