    Huh? Your employer withholds taxes and doesn't add them to your income tax? I'm not a tax expert, but sounds to me like you're being screwed!

    You have associated people that don't want illegal immigration with being white supremist and said that they and illegal immigrants were common in intelligence.

    You however did not respond to the substance of my post. That the Dems that I have been associated with since Mcgovern are now in favor of flooding the job market with illegal aliens and no longer support tariffs to protect american workers, even when Bernie who got my primary vote was for them.

    So you're arguing they involuntarily contribute 1/6 of what they cost us. And only because those are taxes they can't avoid. Not a great argument for their continued presence here, eh?

    Now why would these numbers not apply to legal immigrants?

    It is orwellian new-speak. When I first heard that term, I actually got scared that politics were getting to be something out of 1984. Very similar to the patriot act.

    Except for the crimes of illegally entering and/or being present in the country, re-entering the country after deportation, using fraudulent documents to obtain employment and public benefits, and not filing tax returns. They lead the pack in those categories, don't they?

    I find it funny the Left always tell you how much taxes illegals pay, but never tell you how much they cost to service them. The average I have read is over 100 billion a year.

    Many are under the poverty level and pay nothing, but are able to get thousands back in child credits. Then we have others doing this, cheating the IRS.

    Why can't we have people come in and work on A VISA INSTEAD OF DEPENDING ON ILLEGALS?

    We're already there. The Ministry for Fake Nooze oops, I mean The Ministry for Truth (yeah right!) is being built even as I write. Think 'Russian interference in the presidential election', and 'Novichok'?

    "the Inner Party would keep the masses oppressed and diligently serving Ingsoc. One of these ministries is the Ministry of Truth, shortened to Minitrue, dealing with history, art, news, and education."

    There are many half truths in your op

    But the first one is glaring

    We spend more than $11 billion on food stamps alone for poor Americans who should be doing the work thst illegals are doing

    Around $70 billion a year for food stamps

    The evidence and the confessions all explain the use of stolen identities (felony). What doesn't correspond to the facts is your willingness to ignore the criminality here.

    LOL, now you are projecting your bias and prejudices. I own you with facts and you lash out with the usual twisted thinking.

    I am the employer. That isnt how payroll taxes work. The employee has money withheld from their check. This is called income tax, and is approximated based on dependents and other factors. If the employee over pays the tax liability, they recieve a refund.

    The employer also pays taxes on the employees wages. This is called payroll tax and is the liability of the employer. These are not subject to a refund.

    A quote would help illustrate what it is you're talking about.

    "Flooding the job market", "support tariffs".... Your statement sounds too much like ideological puritanism. And I'm not an ideologue.

    "Involuntarily"? No idea what you're talking about. They contribute. I couldn't care less if it's voluntary or not.

    Because the topic is "illegal immigrants"

    Nope. Where did you get that idea?

    Don't bother. It's off topic anyway.. I'm delighted to see how right-wing extremists are now aware that illegal immigrants do benefit the economy. I mean... why else would they be so obsessed with changing the subject of this thread?

    You read it on wingnut media and heard it from Trump himself. Therefore, you believe it. Despite the fact that it has been debunked... even by the right.

    You're talking about just the people interviewed? I'm talking about the benefit of illegal immigrants to the economy and you're attempt at changing the subject is to talk about an interview?

    The word "all" in bold should have given you a clue.

    You continuously trying to change the topic shows that you have no counter arguments. That's a good thing. I'll take it!

    I'm repeating what you said. The only question would be if that's the only thing that makes your blood boil on this subject.

    The only reason illegals are paying taxes is because they have to buy buy things (sales tax) and some have obtained employment under phony SSN (income tax). You try to present this as a positive benefit. But it is no different than citizens who "contribute." In other words, these illegal aliens who are not supposed to be present in the country do not constitute a benefit merely because they pay some taxes (and criminally avoid filing tax returns).

    Rendering your topic moot in the context of societal benefit. Citizens and legal immigrants also pay taxes, and generally to a greater extent file tax returns as the law requires.

    Oh, I see your confusion. Those are called illegal aliens.
