Foreign nationals who are legally in the United States should be both prohibited from collecting Social Security and exempt from paying into it.

I concur. I am merely pointing out the reality that even the most junior congressman is aware of: Social Security is a Ponzi chain scheme.

I disagree. Because SS is merely another tax on earned income (contrary to popular belief, SS money collected is comingled with money from the general fund; there is no SS "trust fund"), those who are legally working in this country should pay SS taxes just as they pay any other taxes. If they don't like it, they can return to their own country to work. Paying SS tax is just the price to pay for the privilege of working in this country. We don't have to let them in.
