^ Where do they pay property taxes? They don't make enough money to purchase property and even if they did would be eventually caught by the IRS or the State for not paying taxes. How can a employer collect taxes on them?  The SS number they gave him would be phony. 
The only taxes they pay are consumer taxes and that is not enough for the state to overcome the services they use.

This is a hypothetical, general question.  Place whatever restrictions and qualifications on it you want.

Property taxes are usually tied into the rent they pay. Oh wait, welfare pays for their rent, so that means you and me pay the property tax.

edit: Yes I know that was a tangent. Sorry.

Even still it is the owner of the property that pays the tax whether or not he has a tennant.  They are not paying property taxes.

You are really missing the point here. And I assume that the IRS is not infallible even if they did purchase a house. I have no idea how the details of the tax system work, but there are 11.6 million illegal immigrants, and I have trouble believing that every one of those jobs is under the table cash. But maybe I'm wrong.

If they're illegal, how would they be getting welfare? :S

Renters pay property taxes too, and I assume that the IRS is not infallible even if they did purchase a house.

If they're illegal, how would they be getting welfare? Confused

Well how the hell are they living? Their are quite a few who simply hang around in my town.

I have no idea, although I suspect your perception of them is not entirely accurate. But you can't say that the system is so accurate that there is no way anyone who is illegal could ever be in a position to pay income tax and also say the system is so inaccurate that it hands out welfare checks to anyone who wanders into the office.

They hang around on the corners because they are day laborers hired by contractors and private home owners too cheap to pay a legale persons wages.  They are paid under the table and don't pay taxes.  They are in almost every town in California.

All I want to know, and it's a simple question and I don't mean to denigrate anyone, is why, when I'm in line behind them at the store, someone who is paying for food with food stamps also is listening to their IPod and making calls on their cell phone? 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?

deleted a slightly disrespectful comment.... I'll do the rare thing for me..and be diplomatic...


that has to be one of the 'oddest' statements I've ever read.


not sure what you kiddies think illegals are doing....  let me give you a clue... they are trying to find a better life.. just like your f**king relatives were... and mine for that matter.

just think where this country would be if twits who share this fear of illegal immigration ruled this country in the first half of the last century.  It is those immigrants that make this country as great ..well... as great as it was.. and still could be.

Cell phones are pretty much mandatory these days, and if you cut out the landline it's not more expensive. iPod is another matter.

and every 7-11 I've ever dropped by LOL

some of my coworkers have been known to partake of their services... we were digging Saturday under some 17kv lines and as much as a flaming liberal as I am... I wanted to head to the nearest 7-11.  To grab a pack of Winstons, a Diet Coke, and a Mexican to take my shovel LOLLOL

A thief is trying to find a better life...do we tolerate his behavior?

And by the way, most of my ancestors (both sides) were natives.

Micky, no offense, but that's really... I'll too refrain from being disrespectful.  But here you are.

It's like saying this:

Me: "Slavery is wrong!"

You: "What?! How can you say slavery is immoral? Your country was built by slaves! How can you say slavery is immoral?"
