How do they pay income taxes without SSNs?

When they falsify an I-9 form for their employer.

They might try to get an income tax refund on it, though. So it’s hard to say if they’re actually paying income tax.

They all need to go. No debate. They are illegal aliens and all need to be deported. The law is not applied haphazardly.

ETA: 9% of those detained have a violent criminal record. 86% of those detained have no criminal record.

100% are criminals because they broke the law coming here.

I would like to see Trump stop playing games with this and actually get serious about illegal immigration.

But when you send the largest ICE force in history to a place that ranks in the middle of the pack as far as the number of illegals, there's obviously ulterior motives.



Be courageous enough to be honest about how you feel, disingenuous takes like this just make you seem slow.

Nothing disingenuous about it. Trump is playing politics with an extremely serious situation and I was simply pointing it out.

A more important stat is currently detained versus ever detained.

Stopping someone, finding out they’re illegal and giving them notice to appear isn’t some huge violation of freedom.

Undocumented immigrants in the United States often pay federal, state, and local taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

---

They also frequently steal an actual citizen's SS number. Which is a scam that has been around for at least my lifetime. I remember growing up listening to black women talking about doing that to get extra welfare bennies. And apparently the IRS encourages them to do it so that they can collect the taxes.

Problem is, it's a federal crime.

So—and I point this out frequently to the "they din' du nufin'" crowd who claims that we should want illegals here b/c they pay taxes and don't commit crimes—if they really are paying taxes, they are also very likely breaking federal law to do it.

Minnesota ranks in the middle-to-lower tier of U.S. states regarding its total number of unauthorized immigrants, yet Trump sends the largest immigration enforcement operation in the agency's history to that location.

and it has the largest immigrant fraud exposed so far

Are you a fricking moron?

Well that depends. “Stopping someone” without reasonable articulable suspicion of criminal activity is a clearly established violation of the 4th amendment. But I guess it’s all good since it’s not a “huge” civil rights violation according to 808bass.
