What he really means is that Bush's agreement with Fox WOULD raid the Trust Fund, not that Bush HAS raided the Trust Fund. I'm not even sure that part is accurate though. In any event, there is no way that Congress is going to let illegal Mexican aliens collect social security benefits.

Please reread, he says trillions HAVE been taken from the Trust Fund mostly during Bush's tenure.

As noted in the Senate Finance Committee's report on H.R. 743, "individuals who begin working illegally and later obtain legal status could still use their illegal earnings to qualify for Social Security benefits" despite this new provision (Senate Rpt.108-176, p. 24). This law applies to aliens of all nationalities, regardless of the existence of totalization agreements.

From here.
