From AZ Central:
Louis DeSipio, a professor of political science and Chicano/Latino studies at the
University of California, Irvine, said immigrant workers may provide information about
their employment history to demonstrate that they were in the United States before
the Dec. 31, 2011, cutoff date. That could help government officials determine whether
appropriate Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA, payroll taxes, which fund
Social Security and Medicare, have been paid, he said. “If it’s obvious in those employment
records that they have not been paying taxes, I think in that case they would make
some effort to collect those funds,” DeSipio said. “Nothing that I’ve read suggests
that they are going to go back to the beginning of their migration, which in many
cases is the late 1990s.”
