People from the Middle East get tax breaks in America - True or False?

You always hear about how people from Middle Eastern countries get to live in America for a number of years without paying taxes, and how mad everybody is about it. But in all honesty, I've never seen any actual proof of this supposed wide-spread injustice - It just seems like one of those urban myths. Can anybody provide proof of this other than something you heard from somebody else?People from the Middle East get tax breaks in America - True or False?
I've never heard this one. I do know that after the terrorist attacks of 9-11-01, at least 15,000 Arabs living in the US were rounded up for questioning and for a check on any immigration violations. Those with even technical violations were deported. And, if they hadn't been paying taxes, they would have been thrown in jail before being deported.





Here's an article on this topic:

Wrong. I've always understood it in the opposite direction. Americans get tax breaks when they live in the middle east. When I lived in the middle east I did not have to pay income tax or social security.
FALSE omg my parents are from the middle east and everybody pays i live in a community where everybody gots to pay taxes and nobody gets to have a freebie if they from the middleast mexico or europe.
Of course not. Perhaps they get a break from paying taxes in their home countries, and somebody got confused. Why do people believe everything they hear?
