An amazing news story of undocumented workers getting massive undeserved tax refunds from the IRS?

[DURHAM D]

11. My guess is that the IRS sees this as a trade off.

It is probably not by accident that they are getting their withholding back. However, if I understand correctly these same workers are helping fund medicare and social security. And employers are matching the employee SS funds (+2%) and medicare contribution and depositing with the IRS. I assume that if they are working here undocumented they will never be able to claim benefits for medicare or SS. If, however, there is a way for them to claim benefits later than this is problem.

My right wing brother-in-law was doing an illegal immigrant diatribe one day and he mistakenly asked me "What am I supposed to think when I drive by a bunch of landscapers and they are all Mexican?" I told him to turn his car around and go back and thank them because their work is funding his SS and Medicare benefits. Everyone in the room but him burst out laughing. He acted like a total ass so my sister sent him to the basement.

JFTR - I could be wrong on all of this.

The video breaks-up part way through so don't know if this is covered.
