Undocumented Workers Pay $11.2Bn in Taxes -- Just Sayin'

The old trope that undocumented workers are a financial drain is bunk.

Just think if those illegals were shipped out and Unemployed Americans had those job and stop being on warfare.

We have enough unemployed Americans. Let our brothers and sisters work first.

Also doesn't he host from time to time on MSNBC who is owned by GE? Doesn't that make him a corporate slave who "hears no evil?"

and the rest.

Now just think about how much those immigrants would pay in taxes if they were allowed to become citizens.

No red herrings please.

Illegal immigrants pay taxes. They would pay more if they weren't threatened and demonized. They would pay even MORE if legislation like the DREAM act were passed.

The work that unauthorized immigrants do is slave labor. Unemployed Americans simply refuse to accept that level intense work for the comparatively low wage. (Young Turks did a report on that as well. Plus I would know, since all the onion farmers in south georgia were affected by these new "Arizona style" immigration laws)

Just admit, you've come across new information that requires you (and the rest of America) to rethink your opinion of migrant workers and their families.

Asking citizens for their papers is against everything I was raised to believe our country stood for. Perhaps the rightwing is fine with the US becoming the Soviet Union, but I'm not.

It's really not that hard to stop illegal immigration...crack down on those companies that employ them. If no one hires them, they'll stop coming. Of course, that would require putting some requirements on businesses...which we all know will never be an option for the wingnuts. Better to just demonize those with darker skin, regardless of the facts.

Its a bit dishonest to say that GE doesn't pay any taxes, especially when compared to a group that TYT (rightly) gives credit for paying sales taxes. I dont know the details, but obviously GE must buy lots of goods and services where taxes apply,(ie: properties and land, misc. maintenance, catering, fuel/repairs on company cars etc, ) and besides their employees pay both income and sales tax and so fourth, so GE must generate a lot of tax income. But its of course true that they manage to avoid paying a fair share of their profits.
