Scatter, scatter, sweep on, sweep on,
Let us not be plundered by our foe,
The rope has been stretched out and fastened, let us rejoice.
Moving along the rope,
The godwits have risen and flown,
One has landed, to the beach, the others follow!
After all the undocumented WORKERS are deported and the GOP cuts taxes for the wealthy and corporations, who’s gonna pick up the slack?
Oh, my mistake…
YOU/WE ARE
we need to have radical change.. confiscate all monies from ceo's, shareholders, board of directors for starters, tax all corporations first five years at 90%, and then reduce to 75% after five years, tax ALL churches, and make those taxes retroactive from 1865 to the present
I'm going with Amazon & GE! Did I get it right? What do I win? Oh. And IRS investigation in 2025. Great. Could I just have the year's supply of Turtle Wax instead?
Add members of the GOP party along with some Democrats all which spend time doing nothing bit bitching about their constituents' getting govt assistance.
I find the site and the statements thats immigrants are paying billions in taxes misleading. There is nothing there that says undocumented immigrants paid money to the IRS-the US Treasury. When this information comes from a .gov website and not a .org one I’ll accept it.
There were two separate articles or study conclusions I read at the ITEP website. On one if you scroll down there is a breakdown of types of taxes - payroll, property, county or state sales taxes, etc.
Just gonna leave this here. Feel free to take specific issue with any of the numerous references in this detailed report. You don’t get to say ‘I don’t believe it!’ Without a logical statement as to why. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

I just got a brand new washing machine from GE/Home Depot. Flooding my garage floor. Paid to have it installed correctly. Ghosted. Zero customer service. No one answering the phone. I’m sure it will get better under Trump, right?
I grew up in the Hudson Valley. GE polluted the Hudson River with pcb's for decades. The river is still contaminated. GE did a token dredging but you still can't eat virtually any fish species caught in the Hudson. GE sucks in so many ways. And Don't get me started on union busting...
I can’t speak for what GE used to be when it was a multi organization, but it’s just aviation now, and it’s not a bad company to work for, good union, alot better than my last union job at ups. Nowhere is perfect, but it’s been great for me. We keep a lot of jet engines in the sky 👨🏻🔧💪.
I'm glad it is good for you now. When I was a kid my mom would let us ride our bikes down to the river but she forbade is to swim. Fishing was out of the question. The father of a friend had been merchant Mariner. He always lamented how the most beautiful river he had ever seen was spoiled.
Oh for sure, they done a lot of messed up things, let’s just hope they get better! 👍. An hopefully one day that river is clean enough to swim in again.
I just don’t understand why Dems ldidn’t push this point all through the election. We have talking points that are actual facts. For every $1 our gov puts into immigration, immigrants put $1.38 back in in taxes they pay. Not sure what you’re getting on your money but that’s a hell of a return!
Dems were foolishly trying to steal centre right voters by avoiding left talking points and didn't want to appear soft on immigration.
Dumb really, you're never gonna capture trump voters without being trump. Give up and work on the 40% who didn't vote
I don't think even centrist Dems are willing to tax the rich the way they should be! That's why I advocate having Progressives and far left pols to be elected and see it gets done!
Yes you inflate the costs of sales between subsidiaries and it allows you to declare ur profit elsewhere. So when worse than not paying tax in ur country, somewhere like Ireland is gaining increased tax revenue because of it.
They pay with an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), issued to them by the IRS. It's not an SSN, and can't be used elsewhere as an SSN, it just allows them to pay taxes while 'undocumented'.
I'm sorry but this is untrue. I taught a Mexican student who's lived here undocumented since age 4. You can get fake auto generated SSNs and file taxes to get work. IRS doesn't care because it generates billions of $. It's not as simple as black and white.
This is also correct. They pay taxes every time they buy something which is taxed. However until I taught my student I had no idea this was possible. It's actually encouraged by employers and the IRS. Our society will literally crumble with the removal of immigrants, both legal and undocumented.
Sorry. I have it on absolute authority from a student of mine, living long term undocumented in the USA. Many like him use random fake SSNs to file taxes. IRS neither checks nor cares. They keep this number and continue to file. There may be other methods but this thing happens.
Understood. But for those who are undocumented they can't do this. My student came to the USA at 4 with his mother. Never had an opportunity to become legal. Still went to school, saw doctors and worked and paid taxes. He recently married his boyfriend and is hoping to finally get a green card.
Undocumented immigrants pay 100 billion dollars a year into social security, Medicare, and taxes.
Not just 7 billion in taxes.
When Drumpf gets rid of them, our social services will collapse.
Couple that with no one to pick or process our food, and we will be in a great depression.

Yes. Non income taxes are STILL taxes to benefit the public good.
$6.7 Billion Dollars accounting to this page.
"do illegal immigrants pay taxes"
And, one of the search results will be ITEP's website.
Read the various articles, study the various graphs.
We will.
And I can't help but laugh about it.
We shot ourselves in the face.
Undocumented immigrants pay close to $100 million to the federal government each year
Undocumented immigrants get an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) which looks like a SSN but always starts with a ‘9’

You have a Social Security number, you are documented
I think anyone can apply for the ITIN, also.
DACA can receive actual, legal SSNs, but they have to apply for it after getting legal approval to work.
Not just 7 billion in taxes.
When Drumpf gets rid of them, our social services will collapse.

I'd like to have that information in my kit but I like to verify things.
This between 96-100B has multiple sources now
