Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in Apopka
“Let us remember those who have died for justice, for they have given us life.” Cesar Chavez
In the 44 years since the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we as a country have come a long way; however, the fight and struggle for justice and equality are far from over. While Dr. King was most outwardly an advocate for the African-American community during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, his voice and his message resonate throughout the country as a whole. All people who have been oppressed or discriminated against or victimized can take Dr. King’s words as a voice of inspiration. We are all in the struggle for equality together and we must all work together to ensure that everyone is free.

While many Americans believe that illegal immigrants don't pay taxes, the Social Security Administration sees billions of dollars flow into its coffers every year that have been deducted from paychecks issued to undocumented workers using false names and phony Social Security numbers - money those workers will almost certainly never see again.
SSA officials keep a record of total wages that do not match up with real names and numbers in their system. The record is called the earnings suspense file.
In 2009, the last year for which figures are available, employers reported wages of $72.8 billion for 7.7 million workers who could not be matched to legal Social Security numbers.
