just for you loco....
Legal scam by employers
But many illegal immigrants are "independent contractors." Most of them don't pay Social Security or Medicare taxes. Or income taxes, for that matter.
Is that because they are less moral than employees? No. It's because their employers hire them as "independent contractors," not as employees
It also gives the company a couple of layers of protection from that law passed in 1986
the law that is being referred to is the law that targets companies that hire illegals...
yeeeaaaaaa i invented it all
again you dont know the ins and outs of the problem, you simply use a gut reaction to judge things you know little about...
First of all, thanks for finally posting a link or source to your claims!
Yes, this happens. You did not invent it. You've proved it. I admit it.
But it happens only in construction, home construction to be exact. And since home construction has been significantly down since 2008, you are making this out to be bigger than it really is.
And your article already addresses how to deal with them:
"
It would be far better for Congress, in addition to trying to pass immigration reform that makes sense, to close loopholes that allow employers to wink, nod and treat low-skilled laborers as if they were entrepreneurs so as to avoid paying taxes and other costs."
And your article confirms what I've been saying:
"
Many work for food processing plants, janitorial services, restaurants and other low-paying industries."
And according to your article, illegal employees are good for the US:
"
Their employers, like mine, deduct money from their paychecks for Social Security and Medicare.
Week after week, these workers pay these taxes, yet few of them are likely to ever receive Social Security or Medicare benefits.
In 2002, the Social Security Administration received about $56 billion in payments with numbers for accounts that don't exist, according to the New York Times. Officials said the vast majority of that is from illegal workers.
It accounted for about $1.50 of every $100 of Social Security revenues that year, and it was expected to grow.
Legal scam by employers
It would be great if all illegal immigrants were employees. According to the New York Times article, officials figure if we removed the contributions of illegal immigrants, Social Security's "long-term funding hole over 75 years would be 10 percent deeper."
That's a healthy contribution to our senior citizens and it would be more if all workers paid."
