It is the end of the (tax year) and many people have taxes on the mind. Although some commentators claim that undocumented immigrants fail to pay taxes, that is not true. Obed Manuel for the Dallas Morning News reminds us all how undocumented immigrants pay taxes through:
1. Sales Tax
2. Property Tax
3. Social Security, Payroll Deductions
4. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
