It might look that way on the surface man, but these illegal immigrants' pay checks are still getting taxed all the same. These are checks remember, not cash. Companes like Walmart don't pay ANYBODY under the table, and neither do the unionized assembely plants, your local distribution center or the us govt. Pretty much, no business that's paying you with a check instead of cash.
Illegal immigrants are still getting taxed on top of that when they go to cash their checks, since they can't open bank accounts. The check cashing joint gets taxed and passes that right along.
also, remember the old business adage "a penny saved is a penny earned", and they're saving billions more than the hundred-millions thats slipping through the cracks.
