Hello- I think the other portion of the point is and is certainly true in the individuals I know and more importantly says why we need immigration reform- I am very friendly with my Moon Township Pa Brazilian and Spanish undocumented workers community. Some are here on Visa overstays from Brazil (15+ years) some came over the border illegally (10 + years ago) either way alot do have TIN#'s - problem is they havent filed in years if ever and since have fallen off the IRS track I suppose. They stop paying or never pay because they're terrified they could be found out, some dont read the language or know anyone to assist, etc.. Point is the people I know and some I call family make 5-7000.00 a month never paying a dime in state or federal taxes. They fly under the radar because they are decent ppl, no crime outside of tax evasion but that comes from fear of deportation. Why should I as an American Citizen make 58k a year, 1 child, 1 household income pay 5-700 a month in state and federal taxes while others here illegally never pay a dime? It shouldn't happen!! Problem is, our crossers or overstays are terrified and dont realize that if you were to file taxes yearly (most own or work 1099 jobs) they'd be favorably looked upon if ever caught. We need reform where if you enter and get that tax is- we need IRS tracking to make sure you pay your taxes- these individuals aren't committing crimes. But they are here illegally or on over stays earing thousands and hundreds of thousands in their years here, sending money back to relatives and basically waiting until they get caught. If course 99% would love a way to be here legally and would have no problem paying taxes. This is the problem. We need immigration reform. Regardless of how you are here- if you have been here 5+ years and no crimes, we need a way to separate those ppl and make them pay taxes they owe but allow them some sort of way to register or buy a car...a home maybe you're here 7-10 years but pay taxes and no crime. We cannot only have a program for the teens and young adults. American immigration should be about coming here, no prior or existing crimes and paying your taxes. It should be as simple as it USED TO BE....I am one of these ppl pissed my immigrant friends can earn 80-100k never pay taxes, send money home, go out state get brand new cars, rent nicer homes and simply wait until they get caught!! I am pissed!! But these friends and some I consider family are terrified to file a tax. They would 100% pay but no one is making them or telling them if they pay- there is a way for you. This is called immigration reformI just said that I know all that from my time in the US and you are asking me to google it. !!?
By the way that is not the only way illegals can pay taxes. Sometimes you need to read what is posted before jumping to prove how much I don't know and you are an expert.
