What's so bad about 16 million illegal immigrants becoming tax-paying citizens of America?
first of all ,let's start with the employer's.they getting hired somehow. another the employer's take social security,and federal ,and medical out . so in many way's they are paying ,which they cant never collect. so the question here is ,who's the crook's ? the employee just wants to feed their family's ,and provide better lives. let's quit attacking the Innocent ,and go after the big dog's ,many women are having the baby's at home ,scared to be deported ,and guess what ? the baby is very much a citizen . let's not be so judgmental,if you not 100% indian ,you dont belong either. america was build by immigrant's,and ye's that time they where also illegal. the economy have to do ,who you voted for President ,quit using the illegal's as a scape Goat.
How exactly is illegal immigration affecting the economy of the United States?
Illegal immigrants pump billions into our economy and pay billions in taxes every year.....YES! BILLIONS. They are consumers who buy houses, cars, cloths, food, electronics and the list goes on and on. They pay taxes when making these purchases, taxes are withheld from their pay checks, and the taxes they pay in rent help local schools to. Illegal immigrants don't claim taxes at the end of the year, so all that stays in the system to help pay for retirement checks of legal citizens and it's one of the reasons why Social Security and Medicare are still around. They are also a big reason why most US businesses that rely on them have been so successful. They work very hard for lower wages, which helps the businesses make big profits, and the US citizens win because it helps the company keep their prices low. It's a big misconception that they put a burder on the heathcare system, and government programs. Infact! illegals are inelegible for any government programs and the only healthcare they can recieve is Emergency Service. Get rid of all the illegal immigrants and the country will be Billions poorer and prices of the products will sky rocket because Americans will demand higher wages. Do Immigrants Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes? You Bet They Do! http://www.aollatinoblog.com/2008/04/14/do-immigrants-pay-their-fair-share-of-taxes-you-bet-they-do/ The Economy Benefits from Illegal Immigrants http://www.totalimmigrationlaw.com/articles-economy-benefits-of-illegals.aspx Undocumented Aliens Do Not Overburden Government Programs http://americanaffairs.suite101.com/article.cfm/undocumented_assumptions "It’s a widely held misperceptions: Undocumented immigrants pay no taxes but take advantage of a slew of taxpayer-supported federal benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid and Medicare (the health care programs for the poor and the elderly), Social Security, housing and hospital services. In fact, federal law bars undocumented alien access to all those benefits, with very few exceptions."

Do illegal immigrants pay taxes?
YES! The fact that illegal immigrants pay taxes at all will come as news to many Americans. A stunning two-thirds of illegal immigrants pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes. Yet, nativists like Congressman Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., have popularized the notion that illegal aliens are a colossal drain on the nation's hospitals, schools and welfare programs — consuming services that they don't pay for. http://www.reason.org/commentaries/dalmi... Next ignorant and completely unfounded opinion! I'm on a roll.
Why do illegal immigrants claim so many dependents on their w-2 form ?
Every 2 years or so,we would get this list with all the fake social security numbers,the person who happened to have one would just go into payroll,talk to the accountant who told them to get another number. The point I am trying to make here is that the companies know and they are fine with it.
For all of those who say that illegal immigrants are taking your jobs, have you read this?
An article about how unemployment rates are so low in some western states that people are turning-down jobs that pay $12 an hour and McDonald's employees are being offered $10 an hour to start...maybe "migration" is the answer for the US citizens on welfare or who can't find a job. There seem to be plenty of decent entry-level positions in these areas... http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070825/western_w...
