Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:
•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)
•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)
•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)
RT if you learned something new!
@QasimRashid Not that I really care about any of this, but your third point doesn't really make sense, nor prove anything.
A bunch of people together pay more taxes than one man... either you provide an income comparison or that single information is pretty much meaningless.
Frankly I'm a bit confused: I'm not American so I really don't know how this works.
How can undocumented immigrants pay taxes? I would imagine that since they have no documents they would not be allowed to pay taxes to the government.
Are you referring to VAT or is it actually possible for people that are not allowed to be there to pay taxes? Why would they even pay the taxes?
@NoTwit @QasimRashid
This looks extremely strange to me, how can you just make up a social security number? When you go to pay taxes it would be clear such number is not associated with anyone.
I guess you may impersonate someone else who is American, in that case you'd use his SSN and pay taxes for him; this only works unless that guy decides to start working and in this case taxes are not forfeit as that guy will receive social security benefits. Taxes will be forfeit if this American is dead but his death was not declared; but I can't believe this is very common.
What I don't understand is why would they go through all these complications to pay taxes, you could just work illegally at that point and pay no taxes. I guess the only point for paying taxes is getting a job with a contract; but that's pretty much useless to you since the contract would be invalid. I guess you'd only do this if you cannot find a job without a contract or if jobs with the contract pay considerably more.
Sure, they'll be paying VAT, but that's not really what we think about when we're talking about taxes.
What I'm asking to @QasimRashid is basically this: I know nothing about these things but something seems off.
How do you know these things and how does it make sense?
@rastinza @QasimRashid I'm pretty sure that people who don't live here legally often use a made-up social security number and pay taxes on their income (deducted from their pay). Then an actual return is never filed using that SSN, so the taxes are forfeit. Also, gas and sales taxes are paid by everyone spending money in this society.
