I realize this topic is very controversial and I understand why.
So my one and only question will be simple so it doesn't spark any negative debate.

Before you read my very simple question I'll give you some background information about me so it does not affect your answer.

I was born here in the United States.
I am a second-generation immigrant.
I have other U.S. born, second-generation "immigrant", close family members(first cousins) that have served in the navy and marines. It might seem cliche to even mention hispanics and the armed forces but unless you have served in this country's military it says a lot about my cousins pride in "our" country.

Our first generation immigrant family members(the original "aliens") have gotten all their "papers" legit and all of them have their citizenship and most have great careers in fields like real estate, engineering, construction, and numerous kinds of police and law enforcement(police officers, agents and lawyers).....to name a few.

as far as my second generation family and hopefully, the rest generations....
We're all "colombian" by background but "american" by birth and general culture, wether "america" likes it or not.

----------------------------------------

My honest question to you all.. since i hold the mature people on this forum in high regard......

I have "illegal" asociates. They are good people that provide more for the U.S. society than a lot of "americans" but with horrible and dangerous home countries.
A couple of them pay taxes and social security, weekly, at their jobs.

at first, the only thing that makes sense is that the jobs are shady right????
that might be the case but I don't think so.

The question is why do some illegal aliens pay federal taxes and social security??

is it a "let em until we catch em" kind of thing?
because it doesn't make sense to me since illegal immigrants are now a "disease" to the united states and also since the majority of "americans" want illegal aliens out.

i understand if no one wants to try to answer the question.
thanks for your time.
