Besides, immigration is essential to the future of the Social Security system. We can't have our young people who are just starting out in their work careers giving the proportion of their paycheck to Social Security that would be necessary for the boomers, plus whatever they choose to put in a private system. If there is not an out-and-out rebellion, it is still unfair. Even with cutbacks here and there in the benefits, we need Social Security-paying immigrants just to make the transition to a system based on private investment.
That said, all illegals should be out, and the INS needs to focus on background checks.
OK. Your first paragraph was saracasm, wasn't it? Just in case it wasn't, these people do not pay taxes, SS or otherwise.
