Problem #1: Population \n\nThe first problem I see with the current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nProblem #2: Benefits Illegal Aliens Recieve \n\nCurrently, under federal law, undocumented foreign citizens are eligible for emergency healthcare, free schooling from kindergarten through high school, and W.I.C. or Woman, Infants, and Children nutritional program ( Baldwin, 1995). This is important to note because there are currently between eight and ten million aliens currently living illegally in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million of these illegal aliens currently reside in the state of California alone, due to the agricultural jobs that are readily available for cheap labor (Kadetsky, 102). It should not be surprising then that the residents of California were outraged over the amount of money that they were being forced to spend, and the amount of resources that were being used to support aliens that are not “allowed” to be in the United States in the first place. \n\n \n\nProblem #3: Homeland Security\n\nIn the Fiscal year of 2002, which runs October 1 through September 30, the United States Coast Guard, which is the country’s primary maritime, or sea going, law enforcement agency, intercepted 4104 immigrants from various South American countries (USCG, Para 2). Since then, the numbers of immigrants intercepted by the Coast Guard, has continued to climb at an alarming rate; jumping to almost 11,000 in 2004, 9,500 in 2005, and currently with less than two months into the 2006 physical year, there have already been 1,000 migrants accounted for and processed through the Coast Guard (USCG, Para 1). Illegal immigration can potentially cost American tax payers billions of dollars a year. The United States Coast Guard, whose primary obligation is to prevent the loss of life at sea, can not stop this problem by its self, it is mearly the first line of defense. It is up to the rest of America to join the fight and help put an end to this awful practice.\n\n\nthanks cherokee rose i put my signature on  petition you rock

The Sixteen Amendment which allows the enforcement of taxes was passed by Congress on February 13, 1913. They chose March 1, 1914 as the filing deadline for taxes. This deadline was changed to March 15 in 1918, and in 1955 it was changed to April 15. \n"According to an IRS spokesman, the move "spread out the peak workload," but there's another explanation. Turns out that as the income tax applied to more of the middle class, the government had to issue more refunds. "Pushing the deadline back gives the government more time to hold on to the money," says Ed McCaffery, a University of Southern California law professor and tax guru. Still, the IRS's rigidity works in your favor: By law, it must mail your refund within 45 days or pay you interest."

It is against the law when people try to avoid reporting their income and not paying taxes as they should. And don't say as you supposedly do. It is a fact that there are undocumented workers who get paid under the table.

There is definitely a need for control.  If the person is not a registered citizen, do they pay taxes, darn it, I have to pay.  \nfinger-printed is a necessity to those entering.\nThe job markedt % of unemployment would state a more true factor\nOk, thats enough for now, smile

The deadline to file taxes is April 15, but that is for income earned in the previous year.  For example, April 15, 2006 is the deadline to file taxes for income earned in 2005.  If you did not earn income in 2005, then you do not need to file a tax return by 04/15/06.

Yes, I am going through a similar situation. Your question has really scared me.  April 05?!? My husband, from Mexico, just applied in September of this year.  Was your wife in the country illegally or is she currently? That would delay things, right?

No.  It is December 31 11:59:59.999 PM.  The only exception would be certain fiscal filers.  This would not apply to individuals.

Even worse, they steal our ss#.  I have a friend who just found out that his ss# was stolen - the IRS audited him and wanted back taxes for a job he never worked over in AK.  We live in Texas.  After much  investigaion - he has found out that an illegal alien got ahold of his ss# and has had several jobs in the US - all pretending to be my friend.  He has both the Texas and AK DA's investigating.

Amen Amen, you are so right....America tends to forget about its own.....I have known families of illegals drawing benifits that should have gone to our people here.  Yet my husband has to pay taxes every week out of his check like all the rest of us legal americans do...yet they work, draw a check and no taxes are held out.  I feel sorry for all the other countries but good god we need help here to.

First of all i want to thank all who did support the march this sat. IT WAS A SUCCESS!\nand for those ignorants who believe that we should just get a job and quit living of your taxes.. ha ha honey please educate yourself!!  Immigrants aren't living off your taxes but rather working hard to earn the exalt life that they deserve.. Im am almost positive that your parents and if not your ancestors were at one point immigrants..So what your going to tell me that they werent living of other peoples taxes ha ha..it is only odvious that you aren't any better than any of the immigrants that live here..And how about you go back to your country..and learn some history while your at it..since this country belongs to what you so call "immigrants" - this land originally belonged to Mexico..and your ancestors migrated here..ha ha so i guess that makes you the immigrant right.. \n..And to the person who wasn't even aware of this March how about leaving LA-LA land and getting in tune with the News.. LIKE I SAID BEFORE EDUCATE YOURSELF..

The half of this "can of worms" has not been revealed.  Not only do illegals grab many benefits but they also apply for Medicaid and Medicare!  Many work under false names/social security numbers and the REAL citizens get income tax notices for back taxes! One lady had taken care of her children since 2000 and IRS wanted over $15,000 for back taxes on money she had not seen nor earned in three states! Recently 20 illegals were captured and some nitwit at Immigration told police to "Release them!"  Police should have ignored such a STUPID reply as a garbled transmission...faulty fax...faulty brain in faxer,etc. Immigration Service is a haven for nitwits, loafers, and incompetents seeking an easy paycheck for sloth.  Thousands of businesses could be fined for knowingly hiring illegals and fine money could be applied to "Dropping them off in Chiapas".  Instead 3 or 4 got fines, the apprehanders need to be the survivors of a "mass firing".  Whoever is supposed to be watching INS goof off should likewise be tossed into a van without seats a-la Billy Dale Travel Office style...and taken to the gate, told to "So Sue us!"  Hillary Clinton style!

Nope.  My taxes are high enough as it is.  The key word here is Illegal.

Probably not.  Most forms for the current year are not available until the fall.  Keep checking with the IRS to see when you can order them.
