Presumably, the IRS would only know about them if, you know, they pay their taxes.
Here’s location of one who doesn’t pay taxes https://bsky.app/profile/elonjet.net
A lot of them actually do, because not paying taxes would be a crime, and it’s been policy for decades to only really go after undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
If they go ahead with this plan, the IRS is going to be losing billions in revenue in the decades to come.
I’m confused though. How could they pay raxes if they do not have social security number?
They can apply for a different identifying number that the IRS provides. Which is why Trump wants that data. So when you see Trump talking about the deficit, debt, etc, remember that he is fine with foregoing $75 billion in yearly revenue just to kick people out of the country who did nothing wrong (besides overstaying a visa or whatever).
Yes. My point wasn’t that “they’re not illegal immigrants because they pay their taxes”, but that - of all the immigrants one could have - the ones that do pay taxes, while getting nothing in return for it are surely even more profitable for a state than actual citizens which can and do make use of public services.
