I’ve heard that but i don’t see how low wage workers pay enough into SS. They also take out far more than they paid in. Most illegals work under the table anyway.
The idea is to give them amnesty, a path to citizenship. Then they’ll pay payroll taxes with their employers.
We know the gop-e wants amnesty because that’s what businesses want and because they feel hispanics will want to vote GOP in gratitude but I think social/medicare is pushing politicians towards more immigration in order to pay for it.
