Can you believe some idiots propose paying Social Security to illegal immigrants when we are told that citizens soon to retire will never receive their Social Security? Illegal immigrants who paid it should look at it as the cost of doing business.
This money comes from those employers who attempt to be honest. Those who employ illegal immigrants are highly subsidized by the taxpayers; but I guess as long as we get our unskilled labor done on the cheap, it all works out. Since the illegal wages are below the minimum wage, our own unskilled citizens are priced out of the market. I suppose we need the cheap labor because many of our citizens won't work for minimum wage.
