Undocumented Immigrants Paid $11.2 Billion In Taxes... While GE Paid ???
and who exactly knows this? the IRS? the FEDS? the States?
and what is the definition of 'undocumented'? This must be a 'fluff podium puck'.......GE is a government machine for all those socialists who use others 'poor lot in life' to make everyone feel like they aren't deserving of what they have.....
GE is Atlas Shrugged....of course they take the damn loopholes AND it doesn't matter which political party is in office.....Mr. Obama and the rest of the gumbas are lining up to be pretend 'jesus'....remember his statement about the GOP wanting 'rich folks' like himself to be able to keep their money and not pay their 'fair share'?.....yeah, just what I want to hear from a 'leader'.....show me the $$ trail and GET OFF MY BACK
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
How is this possible without having a SS number? As an American we needed ours to buy property and to file taxes.
Illegals will pay SS taxes with a fictitious number... then never be able to collect Social Security. They add to the system then never take from it.
Some employers go out of their way to hire illegals. They pay them below the minimum, or below prevalent wage, collect Social Security tax from them, then because the illegals will never apply for benefits, the employers pockets the SS dollars they collect.

Cashier: I have to know so I can add the total to the "State and Local Taxes Paid by families headed by Unauthorized Immigrants, 2010" Survey so Tom and his liberal agenda buddies can use it someday to prove you're paying taxes

The debate over illegal immigration often is clouded with the question of whether illegal immigrants are a net economic benefit or cost to society. This is often amplified by the leftist when he says “these people do the jobs Americans won’t do,” which has often struck me as rather demeaning of both the immigrant and the American - not to mention being ridiculous.
As someone who lives in Texas and has dealt with the illegal population first hand - in both a personal and professional capacity - my belief is that it is critically important we remember that these are human beings, each with his own story, the vast majority of whom are good people looking for a better way of life in America.
But it is neither good for America nor good for immigrants, legal or illegal, for our country to abandon the rule of law and to continue to absorb the cost of illegal immigration. Now, of course, it is a difficult calculation - having to take into account various taxes paid vs. all services consumed, and basing that on an unknown number of people here illegally. But the good folks at FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) have issued a report estimating that the net cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer is approximately $100 billion.
According to the FAIR press release, the report, entitled “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers,” offers the following: * The $113 billion in outlays for services and benefits to illegal aliens and their families represents an average cost to native-headed households of $1,117 a year. Because the burdens of illegal immigration are not evenly distributed, the costs are much higher in states with large illegal alien populations. * Education for the children of illegal aliens represents the single largest public expenditure at an annual cost of $52 billion. Nearly all of that cost is absorbed by state and local governments. * The federal government recoups about one-third of its share of the costs of illegal immigration in the form of taxes collected. States, which bear a much greater share of the costs, recoup a mere 5 percent of their expenditures from taxes paid by illegal aliens.* Granting amnesty to illegal aliens, as President Obama and others propose, would not significantly increase tax revenues generated by current illegal aliens. However, over time, amnesty would dramatically increase public costs as newly-legalized aliens become eligible for all means-tested government programs. * Arizona’s annual cost of illegal immigration is $2.5 billion.
To ignore the cost of illegal immigration is to ignore the fundamental problem itself. It is real, and hiding behind nonsensical rhetoric and glib one liners about who will do what job only makes the situation worse for everyone involved. Good for FAIR for trying to sort through this problem.
