[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I live in California, I insist on paying nanny taxes, it is the nannies that I want to hire that do not want me to pay those taxes -- so I do not hire them.  I think these legal nannies perhaps want to collect some current gov't benefits without realizing that they need to pay into the system in order to collect social security benefits.

Incidentally, this will be a HUGE issue in immigration reform when those newly-legal citizens want to collect social security.  In many cases they will have paid no taxes on their income (even people here illegally can have employment taxes paid on them), because either their employer did not do so, or they themselves did not want the employer to do so.

In either case, I think that the Government will have no choice but to concede the issue (because it will be very difficult for these new citizens to document a lifetime of earnings and employment taxes on those earnings), and grant our new citizens social security benefits at some default rate.

In that case will expect to collect a similar rate of social security benefits for all my years spent working as a SAHM.[/quote]
