They also pay payroll taxes, SSN taxes, etc that they do not collect on since the SSN's are usually fake or stolen.. They are also spending money here for food and housing and other items and paying taxes on that...so they are contributing more than the right wants to give them credit for.

"The study<http://content.healthaffairs.org/lookup/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2012.1223> , led by researchers at Harvard Medical School, measured immigrants' contributions to the part of Medicare that pays for hospital care, a trust fund that accounts for nearly half of the federal program's revenue. It found that immigrants generated surpluses totaling $115 billion from 2002 to 2009. In comparison, the American-born population incurred a deficit of $28 billion over the same period." Lies are slowly exposed, why wasn't this study done a long time ago. Anyways...cue the GOP fanatics saying the study was liberally biased etc. etc. etc. without actually addressing the substance in 3...2....1... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:364023 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
