and pay taxes. They don't pay taxes and show no documentation because they don't care. So what do you think? Most of the white people i know are wondering because they too are living like a Mexican. Sometimes when the Mexicans even Latinos yes from all other nations don't show documentation, and when they get into trouble they go back for six months. Yes you do need documentation traveling in Mexico, you need car insurance.

It's kind of hard to follow your question, but let me address some of your points:

1. Actually, there are some illegal immigrants who have Tax ID numbers and pay taxes. Really.



2. Not all legal citizens pay taxes legally either. I personally think it's dishonest to not pay taxes on income, but people are constantly talking about making money "tax free" and so forth when they are paid in cash for doing something. So perhaps some Americans should be a little less hypocritical about the taxes that illegals aren't paying.



3. As for not showing documentation, I'm not sure what situations you're talking about. If they come across the border illegally, surely they don't show documentation because they did it illegally. But if they went through customs they would be required to do so. If you traveled to Mexico it would be the same for you depending on whether you traveled there legally or illegally. So I'm just not sure what you mean by that part of your comment. Could you perhaps add detail?

Your question is very poorly drafted but I gather its purpose is to further the notion that immigrants don't pay taxes or contribute to American society.



I am an immigrant, have full documentation and pay substantial taxes every year. Even though I pay all of my taxes I am entitled to no benefits here whateover because I am not a citizen. But that's fine with me because when you're in another country you obey its laws. I chose to be here and accept that I cannot receive benefits if I stay. I



t's not the fault of the Mexcian/ Latino Public if American Authorities chose not to demand documents or tax returns. People will always try to get away with whatever they can. The "problem" is with American law not the Latino Public.

If immigrants are hired legally, they must show proper documentation just like US workers do and they DO pay income taxes through withholding.



The problem is there are employers who hire under the table and don't ask to see papers because they know they are hiring illegals. They don't withhold taxes on those people either.



We need to go after the EMPLOYERS. If people will not hire illegals, illegals will not be able to find work. If they can't find work here, they'll go somewhere else or stay home.

you may desire to tutor it to sign up to vote. we've already had distinctive lawsuits going back centuries the place the final courtroom has ruled you may require an id yet you may't charge money for it or this is a polltax and unconstitutional. The rash of 40 six dollar id enjoying cards to vote will fee us hundreds of thousands and be shot down too. not accepting image student IDs issued by using the State is purely an attempt to maintain college scholars from balloting.

They dont pay taxes because they have no documentation. If they could get documentation they would pay taxes. So support work visas and the tax dollars will flow in. Its not that they dont care its if they payed their taxes they would get deported. Catch 22 IGNORANT POS

I'm an immigrant.

I'm not Mexican.

I have documentation that is my own that I earned after 7 years in this country.

Stop stereotyping, it gets you nowhere.
