Any illegal immigrant that refuses to help pay for our debt can go pound sand.

My personal experiences with illegals over 50 years indicate that the vast majority pay as little in the way of taxes as they can. They came here to make money, after all. So they use false SSNs, take maximum exemptions, or just plain work for cash.

The illegal I sold a house to had been here at least sixteen years, but had no transactions that would show up on a credit report. No bank account, no credit cards, nothing.

The only way to make sure taxes are paid is to revamp the system, something Democrats are loathe to do.
