I wonder if anti-immigration people really think about all they say...I find that the whole 'not paying taxes' argument is the weakest of all. Seriously, EVERYBODY pays taxes and everybody that works (legal or not as long as they put in a SSN) pays payroll taxes, most of the times without getting anything in return. Property taxes are paid either by the homeowner (like myself) or by the guy who rents an apartment (part of the rent goes to taxes) and these taxes pay for, guess what, education. Finally, sales taxes; besides some internet purchases, everybody pays taxes! Yes, some people (mostly Mexicans) can get those taxes returned, but most don't (and we don't).
So, how can somebody keep on saying 'illegals don't pay taxes'?!?
The only problem is health care...then again, how do you expect even 'legals' to pay for health care when it is a business more than a human right?
