Yes I think US is out of control detaining people, keeping them jailed then deporting. It is wrong.  
 
It is the ones that bitch like crazy, saying they didn’t do anything wrong, etc. to the news. Wanting people to feel sorry for them.  
 
Especially bugs me Canadians living illegally there and surprised they are caught.  
 
The latest woman is no one to feel sorry. She married an American. Didn’t bothered going through process to be there legally which was awhile ago.  
 
Was even booted out. So went to Mexico right away then crossed border illegally into states. Probably using her Canadian status to get through.  
 
Now finally caught again. Crying the blues. Wants to come back to Canada to stay with her family. Family saying oh she is so innocent. Wants Canadian govt to get her out and back to stay with her family.  
 
Far as I am concerned more deserving Canadians need our government’s help who are detained getting back home to Canada.  
 
This woman is just doing the poor me act. Will probably stay a bit then sneak back to states.  
 
The poorest Canadian example.

I don't disagree with a lot of what your saying. At the end of the day, they are there illegally.  
 
One thing I've heard from American commentators that has made me ponder the situation somewhat is that their system is very broken. They are highly reliant on what basically amounts to indentured servitude to keep their economy chugging along, yet they make it very difficult to enter the country legally. But they have, historically, desperately needed this laboir. So it's never been in their interest to fix the system.  
 
Now that's being weaponized. It's going to be interesting to see what economic impacts this will have, especially with all the confounding factors happening simultaneously. Apparently fruit crops are going unpicked because people are hiding and too scared to go into the fields.  
 
One thing I don't understand is that people assert that illegals are paying into social security etc. How dos that happen? How do businesses submit that to the feds? These people would not have SSNs. In Canada, you can't really do legal payroll without a SIN. I'm wondering if employers there are actually pocketing the money.

many farmers and business owners who VOTED for him now crying because all of their workers were round up and detained. You knew he was going to do this, but you voted for him anyways. All because you always voted Republican no matter what because you believed their BS. TACO said the things you wanted to hear about all of the bad people. There are many husbands who now have their wives detained and deported, yet still support TACO. They just figured it would happen to others, not them. FAFO!!!!

The ITN is the answer to your question about taxes.  
Keep in mind that if I go to Vegas and win a lump sum of over $1200, the casino holds back a percentage for taxes, even tho I don't have a SSN or an ITN.
