Without legal immigration, who is going to pay into Social Security? The 1.6 additional kids most couples didn't have?

If you want SS in retirement, you had better be willing to welcome legal immigrants.

Nobody below the age of 45 is foolish enough to expect Social Security to provide for their retirements.

Why would I want a socialist entitlement like SS? I hope its long dead by the time I retire.

I prefer reforming SS by making it a forced, private retirement account, that it should have always been, rather than have my children and grandchildren (if I have any) live in a balkanized country unrecognizable to me and my generation.

I'm too young to ever see it. I don't want SS to exists, I want to keep my own money and invest it or do otherwise.

We do need to a maintain a young productive class, though. Japan is having that problem now, due to it's lack of immigration, and it's domestic mentality of not giving birth to more kids. Our immigration policy would be fairly small if we hadn't had so many abortions in America.

Do you also suggest that if being raped, one should just lay back and enjoy it?

Do you really think that uneducated foreigners, who are a net drain to our current economy, will be willing or able to prop up Social Security?
Or is it more likely that these largely future Democrat voters will try to redistribute the ever shrinking wealth of our native middle class?
