Could immigration and the influx of young workers save Social Security?
Answer:
Given the Mexican's racist and nationalist claim to the southwest USA, their proven willingness to break our laws, their lack of education and high crime rates, and their even higher crime rates among their offspring...
IF we need workers, and there is no indication that we do, then we should get them from elsewhere. China has millions who speak English, are educated, love American freedom, raise children who become doctors and scientists. Immigration is allowed for the benefit of the American people and no one else. We are not a trash dump.
Assuming they pay taxes, perhaps. But so long as they remain illegal, they're more likely to work under the table and avoid SS taxes.
no. they too will need to collect eventually. it may prolong the problem but it will just hit harder when it does.
assuming they pay in*
No way. Many are uneducated and a drain on the SSI system. How fast do you think they will be to bring Grandma and Grandpa over before amnesty starts? What would have saved the Social Security system is 60 million un-aborted babies.
The influx of immigrants you mentioned will harm social security. The reason for that is that too many immigrants are illegal now days and have a 3rd grade education.
Americans are not having enough childred to replace the older workers. Do the math, social security is going the way of the dodo bird.
I have heard this argument and it is short sighted to say the least. You have to consider the total cost of having them here. They will soon be using social services such as food stamps, welfare, Medicaid etc. They will also be eligible for Social Security Disability.
No, I do not want to save Social Security. I want to fix Social Security. Make it a real retirement plan like it was originally designed to be. Workers can be compelled to pay into it just like an IRA.

Nice try. What part of ILLEGAL is it that you do not understand?
No, immigrants from Mexico for the most part are low wage workers who turn to Social Security, welfare, and any other resource to be able to make a living here. How can someone who starts drawing out of Social Security before they really put anything into it be the solution to it? it is actually the opposite.
No.
Illegal Aliens..."Immigrants" if you must will never pay fully into the system.
They take MUCH more Social Services than they pay in taxes.
We don't need them and they don't own or have title to the US SW. Santa Ana lost it and we paid 8M to Mexico for it. It's not our fault Mexico squandered their money past and present.
Mexico MUST stop crying over spilled milk.
WTH Are you joking ?
One reason our SS system is in a dilemma is because of abortion. 40Million of our generation is missing! So less youth to support the old. That is one reason.
Illegal immigration will inflame the problem intensely. Illegals not only zapp money from our government since most of them are on welfare but also most of them don't pay any taxes. Just for the record, illegals are responsible for about a tenth of our entire deficit as well.
dont worry, we will add 130 million people to our population in about 2 years when the north america union is set in motion.
