You act like they had a choice in the matter. When you get paid it is automatically deducted. Does it help America? Not really. The social security and medicare system probably won't last if not for "illegal salaries" which could mean that the system would of been scraped years ago because it doesn't work. Patching it with illegal salaries only stalls the eventual problem. Thanks for the money, but it didn't solve the problem but you did postpone it though.

and it shows how many illegals steal/forge ss#'s and other documents just so an illegal can steal an American job.. You still and always will miss the main issue.. being in the U.S. ILLEGALLY to begin with!

Very interesting!

I guess everything has its pluses and minuses, including the presence of illegal immigrants. I wouldn't expect any politicians to admit that, though!

so how many illegals do you give refuge to? It's a FELONY!

And if the illegal wasnt occupying that paycheck an American would. The American would be demanding a fair wage and paying an even bigger percentage into SS, Fed & State income tax, medicaire medicaide etc...

I think I took an illegal immigrant out to eat once. Did I commit a federal crime?
