Question: Do you believe that illegals, who are paid under the table; WANT to pay Federal Income tax and be Americans?

This is the reason they come here illegally, Its to work under the table get paid, pay NO TAX whatsover, and then send the money back home, OR most save for 6 months, then go back home and live like kings for 6 months, then come back. They are NOT paying federal taxes, and are a great burden to our hospitals and schools
Their kids stay here, their ANCHOR babies stay here

Answer: If they’ve got kids in school, (and many of them do; I live near the US/Mexico border and I know of one town that actually BUSSES kids from Mexico to their schools and home every day,) then they should be paying income tax in the U.S. If they intend to use our indigent fund at the local hospital, they should be paying income tax. Hell, many of them somehow got on the food stamp rolls even though they’re not even citizens.

Contrary to what the “they’re doing jobs Americans don’t want” crowd thinks, many of these people don’t work at all. They come up here and either live on ill-be-got gains from crime such as drug trafficking, or they get on every program they can find and live on that.

They should DEFINITELY have to pay for their own deportation costs.

Question: Where can I lookup property tax values online?

There is a website that looks like Google Maps/Earth that has houses listed with their address and property tax values. It was really cool – but now I can’t find it even after searching on Google. What website is it?
It is a FREE website and it is NOT intelius.
It is a NATIONAL database – not a specific website for a specific county or state or local area.
alright i figured it out by calling my mom. It’s zillow.com

Answer: I have seen sites like Realtor.com that will list houses for sale and what the owner currently pays for taxes, however depending on what state you are in, there could be caps in play and that isn’t the *value* of the taxes, only taxable amount.

If you are looking for a specific piece of property, call the local County Treasurer office and ask them by property ID. That would be more acurate.
