According to Wikipedia: "The IRS estimates that about 6 million

by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office indicates that between 50
percent and 75 percent of unauthorized immigrants pay federal, state, and
local taxes.[3] Illegal immigrants are estimated to pay in about $7
billion
per year into Social Security.[15]"
How do they file returns without SSNs? This sounds bogus.
Government statistics say the same. Also, the IRS issues noncitizen TIN's
that work the same as SSN's, except there are no benefits.. they're just for
tax purposes.
Also, think about this: even the ones using faked SSN's are paying into
Social Security. Those payments will not go to the person illegally using
that SSN, but to the person who actually owns the SSN. If nobody owns the
SSN, then the payments just go into the general fund to be distributed
later.
