my impression of that article is that does not support your assertion that most work off the books and don't pay taxes.

that wasn't what I said.

undocumented immigrants are ineligible for SNAP, most don't file tax returns and work off the books, what are you talking about?

you're right, you didn't say that most don't pay taxes.  sorry for not reading more carefully.  you did, however; say that most work off the books.

NC State had granola, hot cocoa, counselors and mental support staff, granola bars and other life affirming treats available in a "conversation area".   I'm just sorry I wasn't in the area, sounds like fun.

Right, and then I amended that to say that most didn't actually work for cash because of modern payroll systems, although a lot do still in some sectors.

I know the calculation would be a got'damned nightmare, but I assume the people in the lowest tax bracket aren't paying their share, and the people in the highest tax bracket are paying more than their share.  I think I saw something that the top 1% pay like 37% of the taxes? 

"In 2013, the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined."

I would even argue that the country in summation isn't paying their share if we are running a deficit. 

Unemployment still seems to be an issue.  I understand the stance that everyone who can find work is a net positive, but not if it means that someone who is already here legally loses out on that job.  I'm also concerned about driving down wages.  It's already impossible to support a family with income from unskilled work.

I would bet most people who hire a lot of illegal immigrants are included in the 1% paying 37% of all of our taxes.

I'm remembering this very poorly, but I seem to remember something like, as an example, a hail storm comes through and tears up a lot of roofs.  Roofing crews pop up everywhere, and if you drive around and look at them the vast majority look like hispanic/Mexican/whatever term you want me to use that isn't racist.  The workers are technically employed by the foreman, who is contracted by a larger company (the one that cashes the check from insurance or home-owner).  So it's not actually the roofing company illegally employing these people, but the foreman.  Actually I'm just now remembering that's how my buddy's dad runs his crew.  Pays them cash I believe.

Yes, home construction/repair/agriculture/domestic services are the biggest cash industries.

That reminds me of a couple guys that I know that hire illegal German/Mexican Mennonites for ag work. They mostly pay them in gift cards.

Trumps banning some imports have a silver lining.  No whinny burgers at McHoss.
