It's totally logical that a huge part of "illegal workers" pay taxes... First the majority that actually work, used a stolen ss number or a legal family members number. So the company actually pays the taxes for them and they just sign the paper at the end of the year. However, the illegal is yet again breaking another law, several of them actually.
Naturally some working illegals will pay into the voluntary tax fund, which they should. I'm cool with that but it doesn't mean it's a free ticket to stay here.

Not saying paying entitles them to stay here, just pointing out the "they don't pay into the system" accusation is not well founded.
I am an advocate of more sales taxes and less income taxes. Sales taxes are hard to get around.
