hlstark - 2/9/2026 12:53 A ITIN number is used. This is an individual tax Identification number The ITIN is a 9-digit tax processing number issued by the IRS for federal tax purposes only. It allows all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, to comply with U.S. tax laws. An ITIN does not: Provide legal immigration status or work authorization. Make you eligible for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Serve as an identification card outside of the federal tax system.
What you're saying is that illegal immigrants are getting Tax ID's so they can get employment?
I highly doubt this system was created for illegals to use?
Politicians looking the other way?
Well it's illegal to not pay taxes.. and it takes YEARS.. the line is 17 years currently from Mexico.. to obtain legal citizenship.. you dont want to jeopardize eligibility by not paying taxes.
So..yal.. ITINs kind of were created for undocumented's.
No, I don't believe it was created for illegals. I think it was created for non-citizens who are given permission to enter legally to work.
If employers are using it for illegals, undocumented, or the like, I think they are doing so illegally.
It used to be that you could Not apply for citizenship until you resided in the US for two years.. so how was that possible.. yes legally entered temporarily until citizenship was earned.
There’s nothing wrong with that.. “bad guys” can be vetted and deported.. just because you are applying does not make you a Fox News rapist nor murderer.. you people have lost your mind.
And no.. I do not employ illegals.. I benefit no more than the rest of us in Ag from a growing economy.. rising GDP etc.. which is what this thread initially was about.. what to do about the K shaped economy.. and assisting the poor.
Inflation is hurting them more than the rest of us.. they will settle the score at the ballot box.
Do we not want to win?
