The employers pay in for th0ose workers, but few of the illegals will claim benefits, so the system will receive a "premium" through all of the unpaid claims.

DING DING DING DING!!!!

folks, we have a winner. The fact is, that our social systems, rather than being "strained" by illegals (there are legit costs that are hurting us as in school bond costs in some areas as well as the ER services in local hospitals), the illegals are actually propping up our FICA and income tax systems. They pay in to get the work (they have to , their employer is required to be the fed bagman) and don't file for any of the return money. It is the perfect scam. Mexico exports its poor, rather than develop its economy. We employ the poor, but pretend like we don't. Such a deal!

ZZT! Wrong. The Senate shamnesty program, as I recall, will give illegals already here a path to both citizenship AND social security - with credit for taxes already paid in.
