TO THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO WHINE ABOUT ILLEGALS RECEIVING BENEFITS AND NOT PAYING TAXES, THAT IS NOT TRUE. ACCORDING TO THE FOLKS WHO TRACK THIS TYPE OF DATA (INSTITUTE OF TAXATION AND ECONOMIC STUDY), ILLEGALS DO PAY TAXES. THEY HAVE PAID FEDERAL ($60 BILLION PER YEAR), STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. ALL TOLD THEY HAVE PAID OVER $125 BILLION DOLLARS TO OUR TAX BASE WHILE RECEIVING VERY LITTLE IN RETURN. SO, SAVE YOUR RAGE FOR BILLIONAIRES WHO PAY LITTLE OR NO TAXES WHILE THEIR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE SNAP, MEDICAILD AND SECTION 8. MAKING THE TAX SITUATION WORST, THE DEPARTMENT OF HLS STRONG ARMED THE IRS INTO PROVIDING PRIVATE INFORMATION ABOUT TAXPAYERS INCLUDING IMMIGRATION STATUS. TAX REVENUES PLUMMETED AS EARNERS MOVED TO UNDER THE TABLE WORK TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BEING ROUNDED UP AND SENT TO A DETENTION CENTER. ARE WE WINNING YET?
