The IRS isn't pursuing this because they collect way more in FICA taxes then they pay out with these credits.
According to the Chief Actuary of the Socialist Security Administration, undocumented workers pay $12 BILLION DOLLARS per year into Socialist Security and cannot, by law, take out one thin dime in retirement.
The people who are uneducated enough to use the "
illegal alien" language don't understand the issue and probably don't want to, but most of the foreigners get a Taxpayer Identification Number and pay the taxes. In all fairness, they ought to be able to take advantage of the provisions of the Tax Code if they participate in it.
Upward of 45 percent of the people that enter the United States overstay their visa. They have a number to participate in the system with. Then you have those who make up the overwhelming majority of people here without papers that entered without a visa. They too obtain Taxpayer Identification Numbers and pay into the system. What is not being said in this discussion is the fact that all this wailing and moaning only accomplishes two things:
It promotes class warfare and
It tries to give some validity to the income tax that is based upon the Communist Manifesto
I left a link in post # 29 for those with the courage enough to want to see both sides. If you listen to the National Socialists in our midst, they want to imply that foreigners use either stolen SSNs or no SSN at all and do not pay into the system. The National Socialists among us talk about cost, cost, cost; however, they will not be honest with you and say the dirty word: CONTRIBUTION. Yes, the foreigners contribute toward the system and, at the end of the day (by virtually every study - government and private) it's pretty much a wash. They pay about much into taxes as they cost in services.
The real reason that the foreigner is here without much opposition from government is that they create jobs, stimulate growth and help boost the economy.
