Immigrants Pay Their Share of Taxes

There is a myth that has been going around that implies that immigrants do not pay taxes but this is not true. Immigrants pay taxes even though they can not claim their share at the end of the year. Immigrants feel fine because they were able to make a living for that year. In order for an immigrant to obtain a job they must provide with documents and most of the times those are illegal. Even if the documents are illegal the government does not care, the government collect their taxes. Illegal immigrants lose all that money because they can not claim taxes and this come to be the millions of dollars that come to be unclaimed at the end of the year. Even if a very small number of the undocumented immigrants are paid “under the table” they still pay sales taxes, which means they are paying taxes.

The Government has established a system in which they immigrants are issued a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and ever since the (TIN) was imposed, there has been an increment in taxes filing by illegal immigrants. The TIN is used for tax purposes only but immigrants want to use this system because that shows that they want to obey the law. Illegal Immigrants are willing to pay taxes because this will prove to the United States Government that they have been good citizens when they have the opportunity to apply for legal documents. The myth that immigrants do not pay taxes is misleading and completely false because immigrants are willing to pay taxes and now that the TIN is in place more immigrants are using it.
