If they have a business. they must pay the same business taxes. If they work. they must pay the same payroll. social security. all the different taxes. FICA. everything we see in a pay stub deduction they must have deducted. as well. unemployment insurance. they pay that as well. In every respect they do that. They pay the local taxes. States taxes for schools. et cetera. so in every respect. they are the same. In fact. there is no way to distinguish between a citizen and a legal immigrant unless somehow you can ask them for some verification of their status to try to prove citizenship.
