1 Billion Dollars.... who cares?

Quote:Damn good thing they are paying in 13 Billion a year.

We should thank them.
 

Your article doesn't provide any kind of factual information.  Let's look at a few paragraphs from the article that you linked.

 

Quote: 

Unauthorized workers are paying an estimated $13 billion a year in social security taxes and only getting around $1 billion back, according to a senior government statistician.

 

This part should be troubling for most people.  The fact that illegal aliens are paying an "estimated" amount of the tax is certainly questionable, but the fact that any of them ""getting anything back" should be a bigger concern.


 
Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration (SSA), told VICE News that an estimated 7 million people are currently working in the US illegally. Of those, he estimates that about 3.1 million are using fake or expired social security numbers, yet also paying automatic payroll taxes. Goss believes that these workers pay an annual net contribution of $12 billion to the Social Security Trust Fund.
 
The problem here is that they've broken the law twice.  They broke the law by entering the country illegally, then broke the law by providing fraudulent SS numbers.
 
The "estimates" are flawed and not a fact.  Illegal aliens paying into social security shouldn't be "thanked".  They should be rounded up and exported.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
