Illegal immigrants working in the US do not pay taxes.
Sure, if they buy some groceries, they may pay some on those, but not taxes on their pay, property etc, like legal Americans.
Living here illegally does not make you an American, even if it is for 20 years.
I know this, I paid one guy, under one SSI card, for twenty people's work, they lived in undocumented residences, bought as little as possible and sent every dime they could out of the country.
Every place I worked with illegals worked this way, agriculture, every form of construction, the distillery, etc.

Yes, there are illegal immigrants working in the U.S. who do not pay income taxes, just as there are those who do.

Here's an article from the NY Times which helps explain how they pay.

Here's IRS info about ITIN.

I'm curious about the guy you paid under one SS card--did the company not withhold taxes?
