If you found out that your M or your sub/slave was an illegal immigrant would you report them?

Do they have really gargantuan tata's?

Look Im a employer so I do know a little something about this. It is impossible for me to pay a employees taxes without a SS #. Ok so they give me a fake SS #. So the IRS sends me a letter within a couple of weeks <you can do it online now in seconds>saying this is not either A. Not valid or B this SS is registered to some one else.

So I go to the employee and explain the situation to them. One of two things typically happen, A honest mistake or they quit showing up for work. So yes they all have to be paid under the table to continue to work there for any length of time.

Even if the employer scoffs at the IRS. The IRS can and will seize the account until it gets straighten out. They may have gotten away with it in the past but not anymore.

Oh, i dont doubt that the US govt wants it both ways, they want the tax and then they also want to come after employers and fine and seize accounts,.. This article talks about some immigrants using ITINs instead of SSNs and it talks about them writing a check for the taxes when they file their yearly tax returns. Even if they work for a month, employers still send the tax to the govt, the govt isnt gonna send the money back. I would also expect they could form a corporation and get an EIN and operate as a sub-contractor for an employer..

Basically, my point was that illegal immigrants do pay taxes, you stated they paid zip..

That is what as known as a "contract employee" which is a whole different set of rules. Suffice to say it's real hard to have a permanent employee under those rules

Rockville Maryland isn't anywhere close to the Mexican border yet if LoreBook lived here for a year (or even half a year) they'd have a new understanding of how really important the ILLEGAL immigration issue is.

Since some of them are doing work that is beneath their education/experience/whatever, I would say that they'd be willing to work for minimum wage and that, because they have personal responsibility, they would not work a job that paid less than minimum wage and was "cash only" because they'd be afraid of legal rammifications (as would I).

ALL illegals are paid "under the table" because they dont have SS # even if they have a fake one it only takes a couple of weeks for the employer to be notified and then fired. Because the govt imposes HUGE fines to the employer for using illegals. So basically illegals "can't pay income tax"

I'm a little with DaddySatyr on this one about the honesty issue.... if I found out my intimate life partner had been hiding something that big from me I'd be concerned about whether they'd been hiding other things and their general honesty. So I'd have to really think about whether I wanted to stay in a relationship with them.
