Did you know immigrants (undocumented and documented) pay taxes (state and federal) ? This happens out of their paycheck, through rent, grocery shopping etc…

Here’s a breakdown:

International Student: someone who migrates from an outside country to study in the U.S.
Immigrant: someone who migrates from an outside country for various reasons
Undocumented Immigrant: someone who migrated without going through the country’s procedures on immigration
Undocumented immigrants can obtain temporary taxpayer IDs and/or work permits (issued by Homeland Security) which makes them pay taxes. They can also rent homes, work, which are taxed upon
Documented Immigrant: someone who migrated by going through the country’s procedures on immigration (could be a refugee, on a visa, on a green card, etc)

So, if an undocumented immigrant resides in Ohio- in order for them to prove that they live in Ohio, they have to show a receipt of taxes. They also cannot apply for federal aid, therefore paying everything out of pocket. International students, like undocumented immigrants, must also pay it all out of pocket; with the help of scholarships.

John Doe, please educate yourself on the subject itself before making that statement.
