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.
