Fema Employment - Illegal Mexicans... Taxes and Benefits Received?

Illegal Mexicans... Taxes and Benefits Received?

I've heard some ridiculous arguments about Mexicans paying taxes and it's about time the record was set straight. Most illegal Mexicans do not pay Federal income tax. Granted, there are a handful that have fake Social security cards and income tax does indeed get taken from them, but not many illegals have fake Socials. Most illegals get paid either "under the table" or "off the books", which means there's no official record of their employment. Hence, no income tax taken out. Some will argue that "well, they pay sales tax on everything they buy." Whoop-de-f**king-doo. My 4 year old nephew pays sales tax whenever he buys a nickel stick of bubblegum. When you look at the services they receive such as free education, meals at school, emergency room medical care, food stamps, WIC and other forms of welcare ... that comes from taxpaying U.S. citizens. It's only fair that we tax money sent back to mexico to make up for the loss.

You're right.
Dont be greedy . the moment a mexian got a legal job they would happily pay taxes, but if the dont have a green card and they earn 4 ot 5 dls an hour it kind of shitty to sak for taxes huh? let them have real jobs if you want them to pay real taxes. They need the money much more than you world invaders DO
I couldn't have said it better myself! I just moved to Atlanta,GA where all this controversy is happening right now..it's disgusting!
The key word here is Illegal...why shouldn't immigrants be punished for breaking our laws? If they want to become legitimate citizens, then do it the right way...Don't break our laws to live here! What message are we sending if we let people come here illegally and break the law? Some argue that they did it to give their families a better life, but if I went and robbed a bank to pay for my daughter's medical bills, isn't this the same thing? I just wanted a better life for my family...Breaking the law is breaking the law, no matter what the reasons for doing it are. And by letting them stay here illegally, we are sending the message that it is OK to break the law if it is for a good reason.
I agree. I live near Indianapolis and there was a raid at a company where 60 illegals were arrested. This one company has offices all over the country and a total of 1100 people were arrested including some CEOs. I think we have to continue to arrest the illegals as well as the head of companies that hire them. I tired of paying taxes to support people that are here illegally.
Chillvamp alot of citizens in America make at least minimum wage and they are being taxed how is that greed? Everyone has to pay taxes. Yeah the Mexicans are illegal immigrants but so are every other nationality that comes here illegal too. They dont pay either.
The I.R.S. transports 60,000 illegals, via plane, to their homes in Central America, etc., every year at a cost of $600 per head. This amounts to 36 million dollars annually that the U.S. taxpayers must shell out. That does not include the cost of detainment, food, and other expenses for the care of illegals. Why doesn't the U.S. government put a transportation tax on imported Mexican goods to pay the freight? Tax their bodies and goods coming in and tax their money going out. After all, we are not the ones doing the tresspassing......
Bravo! As I heard another fine American state here on Answers: 10% tax on all out-of-country Western Union type transactions!!!! And CHILLVAMP: Why doesn't everyone stop boo-hooing for these lawbreakers? Your viewpoint is very short-sided. They are getting paid low wages because they're ILLEGAL and if they were made LEGAL and paid more...NO ON WOULD HIRE THEM!!!! THEY'RE ONLY ABLE TO GET HIRED BECAUSE THEY'LL ACCEPT LESS $$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!! Once they start demanding rights to make more money...NOBODY WILL WANT THEM ANYMORE....EMPLOYERS WANT SLAVE LABOR...THEY WILL ONLY HIRE ILLEGALS...Once the current Illegals become legal, they loose their luster with employers, because they will demand a decent wage and health benefits.
You are only blaming one side.What about the employer who pays them under the table or off the books?Thats why they should all be legalized.That would solve the misconception that they don't pay taxes.Imagine how much 12 million ppl could contribute to taxes.
in mexico if we came acrost the border and did what they do we would be put in jail
