To be fair, there are indeed illegal aliens who pay income taxes, SSI, and so forth. They do so using originally-legitimate SSNs that were stolen or forged. I know this because as a business manager in SoCal I had to fire some once the facts came to light -- after they'd worked in my stores for six months or a year.
Of course, the fact that they were illegal also meant that they were very wary of applying for any gov't bennies, because any interaction with the gov't increased their risk of being caught.
The upshot? Most of those working under stolen ID paid into the system, but didn't claim any payouts.
It's been my experience that they were hard workers who never complained, rarely called out, and did as asked. I was sorry to have to fire many of them, because they were great workers ... much better workers than your average American hgh-school graduate (again, in my experience).
