Another false immigration amnesty claim: Tax edition

Another false immigration amnesty claim: Tax edition
- May 1, 2013
- Louis DeSipio, Chicano/Latino studies and political science professor, is quoted by Media Matters May 1, 2013
From Media Matters:
Even immigrants who have not been paid "on the books" would likely use their work
history as proof of their residency in the United States before the December 31, 2011
cutoff date, thereby giving the government proof of the amount in taxes they would
owe. As Louis DeSipio, a professor of political science and Chicano/Latino studies
at the University of California, Irvine, explained, workers who provide work history
could "help government officials determine whether appropriate [taxes] have been paid":
"If it's obvious in those employment records that they have not been paying taxes,
I think in that case they [The IRS] would make some effort to collect those funds,"
DeSipio said.
