If they’re using fake papers to work, they’re paying income tax (and payroll tax is paid for them as well) but can’t file for a refund or unemployment insurance payments. They pay into Social Security but won’t be able to collect it (though I think anyone under 50 can probably relate to that).
When they buy things, they pay sales tax like anyone else.
They pay their landlady’s property tax if renting and pay it themselves if not.
Undocumented immigrants already pay more in taxes while not being eligible for most benefits programs.
This isn’t about a rational solution, it’s racism.
Dumb question but how can someone be undocumented while also being taxed? Wouldn’t being taxed require someone to be documented?
The IRS issues “Individidual Tax Identification Number” for undocumented immigrants who don’t have a social security number.
