I think it's more accurate to say that non-citizens can collect Social Security. Illegal immigrants, however, cannot. Or at least they lawfully cannot. But then again they lawfully cannot be here or have driver's licenses, either. Lol.
You don't sound so good today wrote:
It sounded good at the time wrote:People who come here legally and don't go on government assistance are welcome by me. Paying into SS with a bogus SS# is problematic, no? So is drawing from funds that other people contributed to. You get retired illegal immigrants who collect benefits after literally contributing nothing. Hey, we're only $20 Trillion in debt, effit, right?
Are you really that stupid? Or is that some sort of act?
Paying into SS with a bogus SS# is problematic? Well, if you have a problem with them essentially giving you (and all other legitimate SS participants) free money with absolutely nothing going back to the immigrant then sure. But even if you have a problem with it you would have to admit that this is the exact opposite of what you seem to be primarily concerned with (immigrants leaching off the system). These immigrants are holding up the system and getting nothing back.
Are you just too dumb to understand that?
And no, you do not "get retired illegal immigrants who collect benefits after literally contributing nothing". Sorry, but that's not the way it works. Indeed it is precisely the opposite - you get retired illegal immigrants who have indeed been paying into the system and they get zip out of it.
