Of course that doesn't take into account what the illegals will do when they retire, especially those using stolen SSNs because they'll stay here and need Medicaid and SSI. That's one big flaw in the thinking that immigrants will save Social Security because of course they'll retire at some point and demand their fair share ---plus they are less likely than Americans to have private retirement plans or private health insurance going. They also won't leave their own elderly behind which is why in this part of the country, the elderly are one of the largest age group coming in, they may not get Social Security but they easily get on SSI which sometime gives a bigger check.
