Also illegals can't pay taxes because you need a social security number to file taxes and I think you need to be a citizen or legal immigrant to get a SS#Blog: Atheism and the City
If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

You don't. You just need an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) which you can get even without a SSN.
It doesn't mean much to me if he doubles the exporting of illegals if the import went up by 1000%.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

But far too many conservatives have this image of Obama greeting illegal immigrants at the border with a smile and handing them green cards and welfare checks.
That's nonsense and the facts don't back that up. Obama was called the "deporter in chief" for a reason. He stepped up immigration enforcement from Bush, who was very lax on illegal immigration. So this false narrative that Obama just let 'em all in and did nothing to prevent or deport illegal immigrants is just baloney.
But if you hate Obama and need a reason to hate him even more, you will buy the fake news that he was practically greeting illegal immigrants at the border with a smile and handing them green cards and welfare checks.Blog: Atheism and the City

"You must also include original documentation or certified copies from the issuing agency to prove identity and foreign status. If you qualify for an exception, then file Form W-7 with your proof of identity and foreign status documents."
From the IRS site.
So illegal aliens are not paying taxes.

Even then it is for LEGAL aliens, and you have to prove you are legal before getting one.
The Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that people – including unauthorized immigrants – pay taxes even if they do not have a Social Security number and regardless of their immigration status.
The ITIN is for legal and illegal immigrants: literally anyone without a SSN.

You don't have to prove legal status in the US. Proving foreign status is not proving legal US status.
"In order to successfully file Form W-7, each applicant must provide sufficient documentation verifying both their identity and their foreign status. There are multiple ways to prove these two elements, but the most commonly used and highly recommended document is the applicant’s foreign passport. A passport is the only instrument that provides all of the necessary information on its own, without the help of supplemental materials." http://immigration-issues.yoexpert.c...dua-33209.html
Which means that the government now knows you are illegal. How many illegal aliens do you think are going to reveal themselves to the IRS? Even if currently the IRS won't reveal that to ICE, there is no way of knowing so any smart illegal alien will not do it.

When the MSM and fake fact checkers want to make it look like Obama hasn't been a friend of illegal immigrants they declare that Obama has deported more illegals than any other Administration leaving out how this has been nothing but an accounting trick and the opposite is in fact true (see for instance Snopes), but if they're worried it might be adversely affecting his image then they tell the truth.

Hey I am willing to let the liberals claim Obama deported more illegals than anyone. Given that they have no problem with that and even brag about it, they have no stake in reaming out Trump for wanting to deport illegals also.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostSnopes is being highly misleading with the claim that Obama deported "more than any other president" (which is rather problematic considering they're supposed to be, you know, a place to find out if a claim is true or not). It is true that the number of reported deportations is dramatically increased. But what the linked article conveniently leaves out is that the reporting itself has changed. Before, many illegals who were caught near the border were simply deported without any registration of the numbers. Nowadays they are. If the reporting changes so a lot more deportations get reported, an increase in the number of reported deportations does not mean Obama actually deported more than previous presidents.
You can find more information on this here and here. Of course, someone may think the LA Times and Washington Post are too liberally biased. In that case, you can see a conservative source point out the same thing.
The number of deportations have not increased under Obama, the difference is that the reporting of deportations has changed.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostTake away the ones turned from the border before crossing and his numbers are less.
They used to NOT count people turned back before crossing. Now they do.
1. Removal: official judicial or administrative orders to leave the country are called "removals," and they can happen right at the border or anywhere else on American soil. This is what most people think of as a deportation.
2. Return: people caught illegally crossing the border and simply turned around.
As Politifact wrote, "Whereas many immigrants previously caught at the border simply were bused back to Mexico, they now are returned with official deportation orders, prosecuted, or moved to different parts of the border so they cannot reconnect with their smuggler, Martin said."
In other words, returns are now being processed as removals. Instead of just returning people at the border, under Obama illegal crossers are now being detained, processed, given official deportation orders and prosecuted, and then returned. The percentage of removals at the border has been increasing, as the chart showed. So it isn't merely redefining something, it's a change in process.
You still have to provide documentation:
"In order to successfully file Form W-7, each applicant must provide sufficient documentation verifying both their identity and their foreign status. There are multiple ways to prove these two elements, but the most commonly used and highly recommended document is the applicant’s foreign passport. A passport is the only instrument that provides all of the necessary information on its own, without the help of supplemental materials." http://immigration-issues.yoexpert.c...dua-33209.html
