Chances are, they're renting, so the landlord would likely be the one paying city taxes that pay for the services you mentioned.

Find me an illegal who successfully registered 8 (or even 1) of their kids in public school and I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

please, i know many of these people personally, as a working mother, who was almost killed by her abusive partner, I was at the shelter for abuse women for my protection and could get no help from the state, another women was there, spoke no English, had five children, all on social security disability, had mass health, section 8 housing, food stamps, the works, she was an undocumented immigrant for Uraguay. I, an American citizen, working to support my two young children, could recieve no help, but she received everything. IT was then that my attitudes changed, I once wore rose colored glasses and believed the system was for everyone who needed it but not to live on. I also know of two other men from Uruguay, who used fake social security numbers for their jobs, claimed 10 dependents on their W4 and of course filed no taxes as they too are undocumented. I hope this liasion helps his fellow countrymen to either leave the US and then enter legally or he reports them to immigration and does not perpetuate the problem Fitchburg has by this huge number of people from Uruguay, who mostly are here illegally.

If they are illegal, they have no social security number. If they have a fake social security number, their name and ss# wouldn't match up on their credit report. Without a valid credit report, you can't get a mortgage. So NO, many of them don't own homes. The real estate bust were everyday "Americans" that signed up for something that 1) they had no clue what they were signing and 2)was way beyond their means. DON'T blame the illegals for the real estate bust, blame the idiots that took out the loans that they couldn't afford and the greedy subprime lenders.

If you have an under the table job YOU DON'T PAY TAXES.

You don't pay taxes if you make minimum wage either. Should we get rid of the minimum wagers, too?

They may not pay state or fed. taxes but they still contribute to SS/Med.....

<quoted text>
That is true, but they likely, at minimum wage, are on food stamps, have medicaid, housing assistance, etc., which far outweighs any contributions they make to SS/Medicare.

But you forgot that pesky, minor detail. People working at minimum wage are teaching their children about work ethic, playing by the rules, doing the right thing. Illegals lead by example, letting their children know that if you do something illegal, it's ok. Laws are meant for the hardworking citizens, illegals barge in and demand what is not lawfully theirs simply because they want it.

Oh, I'm sure this guy will be counselling these illegals telling them to report their under the table earnings, pay income tax on drug deal money, stop collecting SSI, SSDI, foodstamps, Section 8 housing, fuel assistance, free school lunches for their spawn, welfare, etc. These illegals want to assimilate into our culture, they don't want to break the law or get benefits they're not entitled to. HA HA HA GASP - sorry, almost choked there for a minute.
