Comment on Trump Labor Dept Threatens States Giving Unemployment Benefits To Illegals

  I’m not sure I agree with you. Simply because I’m not sure if you agree with the article. I do not agree with the article. Illegals can pay taxes. Trump is saying they don’t deserve the benefits the taxes pay for, hence checking their database. Which I 100% believe is going to have bad data in it since they’ve already proven that with who they’ve rounded up so far.

  All this js really going to do is make less of them pay taxes because they won’t get benefits. How is that helpful? Now they’ll be using other things taxes pay for but won’t be contributing.

    Illegals can’t pay taxes, or at least not all of them, not without stealing an SSN.

      They can certainly pay income tax. That’s the purpose of the TIN, for those who don’t have a SSN. I do not know all of which taxes are paid which is why I said what I said before. Generally speaking, if you use SS but haven’t paid into it, you’re committing fraud. Immigration status doesn’t directly come into play.
