Florida Man Avoids Millions in Taxes by Hiding Illegal Aliens
From Payroll
This story is
a little over a week and half old, but it remains topical. A Florida man
avoided paying millions in social security, federal, income and Medicare taxes
by failing to report a number of illegal aliens working on his payroll.
However, his story also shows the potentially dangerous work environment that
exists for illegal aliens when immigration laws are neglected.
Mac Johnson owns several roofing, tree services, and dumpster
businesses. According to WCJB
ABC 20 News,
he "devised a scheme to conceal the amount of wages earned by his
undocumented alien employees to avoid paying more than $1.7 million in federal
income, Medicare, and social security taxes, as well as more than $1 million in
Florida worker’s compensation premiums.”
“Johnson concealed the wages from the State of Florida by
inaccurately and incompletely identifying all employees, representing that
lower wages were paid than the true amounts, and paying by cash or a
non-payroll check in amounts of less than $10,000 to avoid reporting
requirements,” the local media added.
According to the United States Justice Department, Johnson pled
guilty on Tuesday February 27th to
"tax fraud, wire fraud, structuring financial transactions to evade
reporting requirements, and harboring undocumented aliens.” Johnson also
rented several properties to the illegal aliens working for him and deducted
money from their paycheck to supplement rent.
The DOJ’s news
release also states that “investigators discovered that
undocumented alien employees on work sites did not speak English or have any
personal identification. Their names did not match the names on the insurance
policy, and their files contained employment eligibility verification forms
that did not match their handwriting.” He was also arranging rides to and from
work for his illegal alien employees.
Johnson will be sentenced on May 29th.
Penalties include:
- Failure to
collect and pay over taxes: a maximum term of 5 years in federal prison;
- Wire fraud: a
maximum of 20 years;
- Structuring: a
maximum of 10 years; and
- Harboring
undocumented aliens: a maximum of 10 years.
This case presents several often overlooked problems with
illegal immigration. In the Democrats’ effort to shelter illegal aliens, they
have created a blackmarket that opens the possibility of rampant abuse and
violation of human rights. There is no evidence so far that Johnson abused any
of these illegal aliens, but this case certainly highlights how such abuses
could occur. Johnson was providing shelter, transportation, and payment to
these individuals hidden from the government. It is unclear if he was paying
less than the required wage.
As evidenced by the Federation
for Immigration Reform, illegal alien abuse does occur when America's
laws are not properly enforced. Take for instance the story of Aroldo
Castillo-Serrano. According to FAIR in 2016, he "was sentenced to more
than 15 years in prison for his part in smuggling Guatemalan workers, including
minors, and making them work 12 hour days. They were forced to live in cramped
conditions and were made to pay off a significant debt incurred by
Castillo-Serrano. Ana Angelica Pedro Juan was also sentenced to 10 years in
prison for her part in the operation."
FAIR estimates that "that 17,000 to 19,000 foreign
nationals are trafficked into the United States each year. Trafficking is the
recruitment and possible transport of persons within or across boundaries by
force, fraud, or deception for the purpose of exploiting them economically."
Again, there is no sign such abuse occurred in Johnson's case, but he
certainly operated in the type of environment where such abuse is
possible.
END THE
MEX INVASION – IMPOSE BORDER to OPEN BORDER E-VERIFY and put EMPLOYERS OF
ILLEGALS IN PRISON!
Notice how we never hear the phony populist Trump
talking about E-VERIFY!
AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of
foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the
last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s
population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new
report.”
Open the floodgates of our welfare
state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in
a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.
Those most impacted are middle class
and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are
postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that
absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed
and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal
underground.
THE SECRET REPORT ON ILLEGALS TAKING
MIDDLE AND HIGH END JOBS…. What? You thought they only took the sh//// -it
jobs?
NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks:
E-Verify Ignored in DACA
Negotiations Because ‘Members of Congress Know It Will Work’
Members of Congress broadly oppose a legislative
nationwide E-Verify mandate for employers because “they know it will work,”
said NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks, explaining why E-Verify is not being pushed
in congressional negotiations for an amnesty deal for recipients of the Obama
administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Jenks further
noted that both parties are beholden to special interests supportive of “mass
migration.”
PARTNER WITH MEXICO, the LA RAZA DEMOCRAT PARTY and the
PRO-BUSINESS GOP to keep wages for LEGALS depressed (today they are depressed
to 1973 levels).
But you will still get the tax bills for the Mex welfare state and
crime tidal wave!

“Illegal
aliens are not supposed to work, and knowingly providing shelter for illegal
aliens can be construed as harboring and shielding, elements of a felony under
federal law, Title 8 U.S. Code § 1324.”
“Where aliens
and jobs are concerned, even many categories of nonimmigrant aliens (temporary
visitors) including aliens who lawfully enter under the Visa Waiver Program or
with tourist visas may not work in the United States and immediately become
subject to removal (deportation) if they seek gainful employment.”
