The article More illegal immigrants are rushing to file taxes talked how illegal people are doing their taxes. They are risking themselves by giving the government their name and address and other things. Alot of people call The Community Economic Development Center in New Bedford asking help for filing their taxes. The IRS created ITINs, wicha re numbers that track the tax returned to those who are not eligible for a social security number. The ITINs were created on 1996. They say that the most people that use this ITIN number are illegal immigrants. Some legal residents use ITIN numbers to. In the year 2006 in Massachusetts 39,221 ITIN numbers did their taxes. That was a 20% increase from the past year. Illegal immigrants have to pay back taxes as a maybe to get their residency.Giving hopes to 12 million people. From 1996 to 2003 people who had ITIN numbers paid the government 50 billion dollars. Some people don't think that illegal immigrants should become residents just because they are paying taxes.
Questions:
1. What is the problem with the number of people doing their taxes going up?
2. Why shouldn't illegal immigrants get their residency if they are paying their taxes?
3.How many people that are residents have ITIN numbers?
