Did your boyfriend come over to study or was he invited? That is the only way I know for someone to get a SSI number. That DOES NOT entitle him to SSI benefits because his CLASSING of his visa MOST LIKELY DOES NOT permit him to work. But given the fact you are going on round and round about him paying taxes but not being entitled to SSI shows he is working ILLEGALLY, because his STATUS has not the work permission.
That is his mistake and THERE IS NO other way to put it: He might be legally in the U.S., but he is not LEGALLY allowed to work.
No matter ho many times you flip it and think it's unfair, HE IS IN THE WRONG.

2nd point: It is now a proven fact that even Columbus didn't "discover" America, nor the Spanish. (How can you find something that was never lost and belonged to someone else?)
One of Columbus's slaves "found" America while Columbus was too busy chasing some savage for a piece of tail...

3rd : Most of the illegals KNOW where to go and how to abuse the American system JUST because their staus as an illegal.
How you think they got jobs at WalMart? Was there a WalMart representitive standing on the border with a sign in their language pointing the way? No, they come with the intention to work as "cheap labor". The American dollar can go a lot further in some countries than their own currency. It's a shame that most businesses hire cheaper labor and mark the money they save up in the "PROFITS" margin as money saved... I have witnessed this more than 5 times: Some businesses hire a delivery boy or waiter for $2 an hour instead of paying minimum wage (so they save almost $4 off the top or use the excess to hire 2 more. 3 illegals for the cost of 1 working American without having to pay insurance, health benefits, taxes.) then let them keep the tips. The average delivery boy makes $60 - $100 A DAY in TIPS ALONE. So they make $80 in wages and average $500 - $600 a week! (And do they pay taxes on it?) Now think of all the immigrants you see all over the place working in restaurants making deliveries or serving food? And this is the small scale of the balance, think about Skilled and Trade jobs that is affected.

Walk down any New York street and you'll see how many bootleg items being sold (bad copies of items made from American businesess) by immigrants and LOOK at how many are doing it..

Then think of why American is heading to the pits because America holds her arms open to everyone from anywhere else in the world, and they take more advantage of "the system". Now, if it is so much of a problem of them becoming registered and legal, I don't see them having a problem and doing the "illegal"
way..
