If they are here legally and are paying taxes on all that they are earning while here jr, then I do not see a problem with them being able to be a part of this program.
So all the workers that travel over the Mexican border to work in the US shouldn't be covered under UHC, correct? Since, they don't pay US income taxes....
that would be my understanding jr....
at least not in this segment of the law, i believe?
i am not ruling out they would not be covered somewhere else in this massive bill though!
Non resident aliens only pay taxes while living in the US.
Definition of Non-Resident and Resident Alien for Tax Purposes
Non-resident aliens are taxed on earnings received while living in the U.S. Non-resident aliens (Visa type F-1 and J-1) are exempt from FICA (Social Security tax). If the Visa type is F-1 or J-1, the non-resident alien may be exempt from federal taxes only if the country the alien previously lived in before arriving in the U.S. has negotiated an income tax treaty with the U.S. government.
