Undocumented immigrants pay more taxes than president 45

Post by Fuzzy Necromancer »

Some of you already know this, but I thought it might be an informative fun fact.

When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/

As I've always said, if you pay your taxes and follow the law (and, preferably, try to learn basic American English, though it's not a deal-breaker), then I'm cool with you being in the USA. So, um... Can we just give these guys citizenship, already?

Funny how this works. Those undocumented immigrants are ones payind taxes when President 45 and other rich people don't. It really shows how messed up US political system is.

That said, undocumented immigrants likely can pass a citizenship test. 45 would not.

Your English is terrible, and yes, I do know how things work in real life. Where did you rebut my point that saying 13,000,000 paying more than 1 person in taxes is to be expected? Trump also donates his Presidential salary every year to charity. Don't see many illegals doing that.

While taking advantage from everyone else by having system rigged so that they benefit from it. And then there are people defend rich when rich couldn't care less about them.
