Mistake costs illegal immigrant dishwasher $59,000

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

He was/is illegal.

Would it be fair to give him the "taxed balance" of the work he did, and ban US entry for life, no waiver available?

Any further entries would result in prison?

That would be fair.

If he is getting pay stubs, what he earned was likely already taxed.

How could he have been getting paystubs when he was undocumented illegal,

Zapeta admits he never paid taxes.. So Federal Crime of tax evasion, if a USA citizen evaded taxes that long they would be paying huge penalties and mostly serve time in federal prison

He had 59K in Cash.

He owes back taxes, fines & should be deported with out re-entry Until he has served 10 year ban AND apid all fines & Taxes owed as well as paid back the social systems that he took from.

He shoul dhave taken the offer of 19K and counted his blessings,

Someone getting paid $5.50 per hour, working full time, for 2007 is only responsible for $813 in taxes. And you want to go after this guy? It would probably cost more just trying to get him to pay that money. If you are so concerned about tax evasion, there are much better targets. That would actually be worth the time pursing.

11 years in the USA ILLEGALLY EVADING TAXES for 11 Years,

Interest & Penalties alone for tax evasion, not to admit HE WAS IN USA ILLEGALLY! AS IN NOT LEAGLLY ALLOWED TO BE IN USA, AS IN ILLEGALLY WORKING AS IN

WILLINGLY, KNOWINGLY BREAKING FEDERAL LAWS.

HE wants people to feel sorry for him , when he brough tall hti son hisself by choing to break Federal laws.

He got what he derserved.

I think its funny as he!!

Simply put, he is an idiot! He could have done a wire transfer from his bank.

How many Legal Visa Holders or intending Legal immigrants awaiting AOS

can even open a bank account w/out EAD

I doubt he had a bank account,

Being illegal, and all of you assume he never paid any taxes. Since he was paid in more of a regular employment arrangement, he probably had taxes withheld from his paycheck. Of course, he never will be able to take advantage of social security.

Just because he is illegal, doesn't mean he never paid taxes.

Dan,

Variables abound. Do we know for sure that he was taxed? Was he a tipped employee or one who was paid in cash?

Answers we do not have.

Therefore, maximum taxation and permanent ban apply.

At the end of the day, he does yield more than is deserved, given the illegal status in the first place.

And he ALSO ADMITTED HE NEVER PAID TAXES!!!

He also admitted to not really knowing English. Not paying taxes and not filing are two different things. So you don't really know if he never paid taxes. Again at $5.50 an hour, his tax burden is hardly anything.

Whats pissing you off, is that he had the tenacity to save that much money and you feel that you need a piece of it because he is illegal.

Dan, I think you just love a good pitty party. If you saw a deduction in your paycheck going to Zepeda you would be pissed.

The deduction for the Iraq war, and corporate and wealthy tax evaders is many times more.

Put it in perspective, and and its hardly worth spending any time trying to collect unpaid taxes from someone who hardly owes anything in the first place.

No what is pissing me off is Ignorant people like you who advocate illegal immigration, and support the fact that they should be able to come here Illegally, work illegally, and not face the consequences of breaking federal immigration laws.

Simply put he broke the law by entering illegally he shoul dbe deported, He evaded taxes for 11 years so he should forfeit th emoney owed ( interest & penalties on 8-9K a year plus fines for illegal status, cost of any social services he stole, He OWES MONEY!

Illegal Immigrants Cost USA Billions per year,

Illegal Immigrants cost usa tax payers billions per year

illegal criminal aliens cause legal citizens & residents to pay higher costs for health insurance,resulting in the inability for middle o rlower class children to have health insurance or quality Education.

Illegal Aliens cause a rise in auto insurnace and are stealing benefits that should be given to legal usa citizens/ residents.

Not hardly Dan, I make plenty of legal money.

My issue is illegal presence/employment and income not properly taxed or "fullly withdrawn" as it was earned illegally. All empathy aside, this dude needs to ensure he paid up, before being bounced out. Mengerti?

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Remember the Pilgrim and all those folks from Europe who came to the us and took this land from the Native american, at one point or another we were all ILLEGAL ALIEN, but we kill the indians the few left we put them on the worst part of the country under so call name (Reservation) most money comes from Gambling CASINO. So this guy came here in the search of a better life, just like those white folks who came here centuries ago, IF his money is not already been taxed, Tax the money and give him his due share, this is his hard working, long hours sweat, He didn't steal, or robbed people to get that money as such he's entitle to what is His.

Native Americans walked here too.

Nice topic change. Stay on track! whenever you lib types try to change the conversation shows you really have no core. Stand-up for something its really pretty easy. The boy came to the store, shoplifted and got caught. Its that simple and not complicated at all. I know you "feel" sorry for him, but in the scheme of things it really does nothing for him at all. I think the sorrow you feel is more for you than him. Some how when people take a sympathetic view they feel they are taking the high road.

Iraq war cost $190 billion this year ALONE. We would save many times more money just by ending that.

Unpaid taxes by US citizens and corporations, $300 billion. Unpaid taxes by illegal aliens maybe $5-10 billion.

There are 47 million uninsured citizens. Often times, significant bills by this group, get wiped out by declaring bankruptcy. Thus the cost of their care gets distributed to those paying health insurance. This group puts a many times greater strain on our health care system than all the of the illegal aliens do together.

Uninsured citizens cost the healthcare system $100 billion every year. Cost of illegal aliens, $10 billion is the number for all public services, maybe $5 billion is unpaid health care expenses?

We have much bigger financial issues we need to tackle first.

Lets assume he did pay taxes. Which over 11 years makes his tax burden about $9000 (more or less since tax rates have changed a bit over time). So he leaves the country with $50,000 instead. There are many people who would still be upset by that.

[William33 110]

Dan,

Multi-tasking is a wonderful thing. Think about it.

We can, collectively fix it all, if politician’s were to focus on real issues. Let’s move the debate that way? OK?
