Very well said. I get tired of trying to explain to people that these immigrants will be the ones funding our Social Security checks. If not for them - the system would soon run out of money.
Then let it! SS is just a giant ponzi scheme anyhow. Why simply delay the inevitable, at which point things would be even worse? What kind of logic is that? Fix it now, or end it. Stupid ideas about allowing millions of new immigrants to fund SS and pass the day of reckoning down to our children because politicians were too chicken-s**t in the past and in the present to reform it are absurd.
What a ridiculious argument for having our country overrun by illegal immigrants.
I, for one would gladly accept lesss in social security payments to get rid of this problem.
BTW, you will need more than social security to retire on.
Let's say that you are right but what about earned income credit?
Some of the "guest worker" programs will require the "guest worker" to file taxes for prior years missed -- though some worked here using individual taxpayer ID numbers handed out by the IRS, presumably they filed their taxes.
My concern is earned income credit. Many of those "guest workers" filing taxes for prior year will be getting checks from the government for those back years and for all future years owing to their low wages.
I seems to me that could be a fact and would more than likely cost us more than we get from their FICA.
