Trump May Not Have Paid Taxes For 18 years, But Undocumented Immigrants Pay Billions Yearly

Yes, the same undocumented immigrants that Trump wants to throw out and then build his wall, so they can never come back. They pay billions to support the country they aren't even documented in and Donald Trump? He pays zero for America and all for Trump.

there are still about 340 million unclaimed tax forms recorded in the file, compared to 270 million nearly a decade ago. A good portion of those forms were filed by employers on behalf of some of the most unlikely funders of Social Security: undocumented immigrants. In fact, illegal immigration is considered largely responsible for the mushrooming of the file, with undocumented workers paying billions in taxes for retirement benefits they will likely never receive.

Undocumented immigrants contribute so much in taxes, it has a net positive effect on Social Security’s financial status. The very people Trump attacks are actually helping keep the Social Security system solvent for Baby Boomers.

Trump pays no taxes, so he has ZERO effect on Social Security.

The Social Security system has grown increasingly reliant on this stream of revenue, particularly as aging Baby Boomers start to retire. Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration, estimates that about 1.8 million immigrants were working with fake or stolen Social Security cards in 2010, and he expects that number to reach 3.4 million by 2040. He calculates that undocumented immigrants paid $13 billion into the retirement trust fund that year, and only got about $1 billion in benefits. “We estimate that earnings by unauthorized immigrants result in a net positive effect on Social Security financial status generally, and that this effect contributed roughly $12 billion to the cash flow of the program for 2010,” Gross concluded in a 2013 review of the impact of undocumented immigrants on Social Security.

This undocumented worker, who’s identity was withheld, has literally paid more taxes than Donald Trump. The same grifter who wants him thrown out of our country. 

One undocumented worker from Central Mexico who gets help with his taxes at Sacred Heart told me that he began paying taxes four years ago, after learning that it might one day help him stay in the United States. (He asked not to be named because of his legal status.) A 31-year-old landscape worker, he moved to Richmond in 1999 and now makes up to $1,700 a month maintaining golf courses seven days a week.

Just remember this 31-year-old undocumented landscape worker and many more like him when Trump says that not paying taxes makes him smart.
