Gallegly: U.S. magnet: Illegal immigrants paid $4.2 billion

It's just money OURS!

The title of the thread is a bit misleading. The illegals didn't "pay" they received refunds as do 51% of all those who file tax returns.

You did not work for that money therefore it's not yours.

"paid" or "received" They both mean that illegals obtained monies for illegally working in the USA from the federal govt.

As long as America allows companies to exploit illegals by paying them substandard wages, the American people will continue to subsidize them.

That's what America is doing. We're subsidizing big business to employ & pay cheap wages to illegals.

While big business gets rich off this ploy America runs more in the red.

It's a great business plan if you think about it.

if the feds knew these were illegal tax returns, then why did they pay out the 4.2 billion ? Makes no sense at all. Put em in jail with citizen tax cheats, thats all they are.

What in the hell are you spouting off about now? So the federal taxes I pay are being held in a "trust fund" for me down the road? Get a grip Rico!

I wonder what that cost each citizen household. Then add in the free Medicaid, pregnancy services, WIC, housing illegals in jails/prisons, Section 8, education of illegals.

Billions and billions.

Glad we save a few pennies on produce.

2012 time for a real change!

You mean Social Security taxes are held in a trust fund.

What in the hell are you smoking? 35% business taxes and 28% personal federal taxes that have nothing to do with social security. I know it's hard for you to realize RICO but many of us actually PAY into the system, while the Feds throw it away.
