Basically everyone who works pays payroll and/or income taxes, regardless of what your one relative says on Facebook. Employers do sometimes misclassify employees as independent contractors, which passes that burden over to the employees improperly – so sometimes the undocumented employee ends up paying more in taxes than they actually should, based on their income.
