"IRS data from 2015 showed, according to Vox, that it received about 4.4 million income tax returns from individuals who did not have social security numbers. This resulted in those undocumented workers paying more than $23 billion in taxes that year." [msn.com]
Put paid to the myth that every illegal immigrant costs the US taxpayer $80K

You cannot file a tax return without a Social Security Number on it. Those documents will be returned or discarded. If you don't believe me, try filing a tax return with a blank social security number.

It's called an ITIN. International taxpayer identification number.
they pay income tax, they pay sales tax like the rest of us, and they get nothing in return that we citizens get. they do NOT get welfare, free cell phones or any of that crap the rightwingers are duped into believing) and they commit crimes at a far lower rate than american citizens. for dreamers, by the way, that rate is approximately zero percent. yet the myths persist, don't they? i also want to point out that those 4.4 million income tax returns were not for one buck each, so that is a lot of money the government gets from undocumented workers!, not $4.4 million but a hell of a lot more!
