04/14/2008: "Illegal immigrants might pay taxes"

The Social Security Administration estimates that about three-quarters of illegal workers pay taxes that contribute to the overall solvency of Social Security and Medicare.

The agency estimates that for 2005, the last year for which figures are available, about $9 billion in taxes was paid on about $75 billion in wages from people who filed W-2 forms with incorrect or mismatched data, which would include illegal immigrants who drew paychecks under fake names and Social Security numbers.

[ Debunking this propaganda: all workers have social security taken from their paychecks; it is not voluntary. They assume that all misfiled returns from 2005 belonged to illegal aliens. Not a story, it's statistic shuffling to keep you mystified while they steal another hundred million or so. ]
