To save Social Security, there must be a procedure put into place to convert these people into tax paying residents.

Or we could simply replace him with a legal immigrant worker, and then the legal immigrant worker would be paying into Social Security.

Absolutely. And why can't that legal immigrant worker be him? He already knows the job. Who are the anonymous legal immigrants waiting at the border who already knows that job?

Look, people, this is not about hyperbole like "Invading our Country" or about "Turning the Country over to Mexico". It's about the reality that most western countries have a very very low population growth rate and that is devastating many different demographic based programs -- the most prominent being Social Security.

Get this deeply embedded in your heads. There Will Be No Pensions From Social Security For Anyone If We Either Do Not Find More Working Age People Or Raise Taxes. There is no other alternative. Cutting benefits will never happen because old folks vote in higher density than other age groups.

If you advocate deporting working age people you are advocating tax increases. There is no way around this.

These people are here illegally. You have to provide a path for them to become legal. They did something illegal? Then make part of the process paying a fine. Make them jump through whatever hoops you like to become legal, but you cannot advocate deportation of working age people and also claim to be against tax increases for Social Security. Deportation is equal to a Social Security tax increase.
