Not to go off subject but someone said...
"im tired of people complaining they have to pay taxes for illegals.
many illegals pay taxes and can't receive benefits so who is actually getting robbed? When you use fake or stolen documents why do you expect to reap all the benefits of citizens ? There is a reason you do not reward criminal behavior it encourages further criminal behavior. Illegals pay force taxes is about it. Any who pay taxes also claim more dependents than they have.. If they are paying all these taxes where is the money ?How much money does public defenders cost ? How much does it cost us in unpaid medical bills? Hit and runs, who pays for all that ?"
Illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants (immigrants who came legally but overstayed their visa time), who use somebody else's SSN# can't do taxes, because the IRS sends them as well as their employers every tax year a letter notifying them that the SSN# they have on file and their names do not match. Therefore this immigrants do not collect tax credits. Others are given a ITIN# or a Tax payer Identification number, this number is given by the IRS so that the immigrant can report their taxes and all they get back is a maximum of $250.00. Which brings me to the question..Why would the IRS give an ITIN# to someone who does not have a SSN#? Are they doing this so that the immigrant can get taxes deducted on every paycheck (regardless if their SSN# belongs to someone else or is a fake number, or it belongs to someone who has passed), but at the end of the year they can only collect up to $250? I see so many wrong things with that picture!
But...as far as your question goes...who knows, the US is in this mess because of greed, nothing more, nothing less.
Good luck to us all!
