[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of undocumented, like fully off the grid? Or in the system in some temporary status?[/quote]

Nope. No temporary status, just expired guest visa.[/quote]

So an illegal immigrant. Which means she hasn’t paid into the system and it owes her nothing. [/quote]

In 15 years of working, she has most assuredly paid into the system. But, yes, it will give her nothing.[/quote]

If she worked under the table and/or sent money back home as a remittances versus keeping it here in the US, she most certainly did not pay into the system. [/quote]
She may have a TIN number, she may have got paid less in exchange for cash, so the employer has her money. Employer also has the money they owe to government on her behalf. [b]She also paid taxes on most thing she bought like all of us.[/b]
Wage theft is probably the biggest tax she paid. It is for me and it continued even when I became legal.[/quote]

Sorry but this is nothing but convoluted excuses. It is doubtful people who are here undocumented are NOT filing taxes with the IRS (therefore no TIN)

Furthermore, whatever sales tax she paid is nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to what medical costs and long-term care would be. I'd guess the total of all her sales tax paid for 15 years wouldn't even equal a week's stay at a long-term care facility.

I've been a visitor to foreign countries many, many times and paid my share of sales tax in those countries. Does that mean I am entitled to housing, medical care, and long-term nursing (perhaps for decades in the case of dementia patients)?

Imagine an American going to Italy, Germany or England and saying, "I paid sales tax here so YOU OWE ME!" We'd be laughed back on a plane so fast it would be a supersonic trip.
