most illegal immigrants do pay taxes they recieve paychecks like everyone else and guess what? they arent special they get the same deductions as any legal resident does. I know many people who earn up to $1200 gross pay and only recieve about $900 because of taxes, I really dont know why this "they dont pay taxes" arguement always pops up because they DO. Not like they go to stores and buy a bag of chips for cheaper because they dont have to pay taxes. Most illegal immigrants pay taxes in one way or another its a minority that get paid in cash that dont but the company's that pay them in cash are the problem because they also do it in order not to pay taxes.
