$17B/year is looking like real money.

Latino Pundit has a truly brilliant quote from HispanicBusinessForum on undocumented taxpayers:
There are revealing contributions of undocumented-essential workers to the U.S. economy. When the Social Security Administration collects payroll taxes for someone for whom a valid Social Security number cannot be found, these earnings go into a “suspense file.”
Since 1937, this file has collected $265 billion in wages and, the report says, the file has grown $17 billion annually since 1990. This makes a good case that those workers that many like to call illegal aliens are really undocumented taxpayers.
Interesting. Taxation w/o representation comes to mind.
