Sue in a vast majority of cases they do pay taxes.
I do not know of any employer here in America (legitimate) who does
not withhold taxes out of paychecks, unless they consider the worker
a contractor.
Many (A good number) of south of the border people work in the food
industry (Mainly animal processing) and to get hired they must show
ID/SS cards etc. Even though these numbers may be bad (stolen, made
up etc.) and have passed government scrutiny (Tysons runs them all
before employment) they then withhold taxes under those numbers.
It is only those illegals who are working for cash under the table
that do not pay taxes. I think if you checked a statistical (non
biased) examination of that argument it would proof moot, as for the
number that pay into the system do not collect any benefits out of the system.
My knowledge of this comes from working with them for a time and
observing their process.

My point exactly. If they are not citizens, they should not pay
taxes. Nor should they claim the benefits of citizenship. Let them
work here, but pay their own way. How much more fair can you get?
In many countries, you cannot own property without being a
citizen. I see no problem with that either.
