  •  As I said before, they are young and they have (0+ / 0-)

    children and they will pay into the system for many years, before receiving anything back. Some won't get anything back, because the leave or don't qualify. But they will pay for our retirement, whether you recognise it or not.

      Illegal immigrants make an average of $29,500 per year, and the graduation rate for Latinos (and face it the majority of illegal immigrants are from Mexico whether you choose to admit it or not) is less than 50%.

      There are 700,000 children in the LA Unified School District, and less than half of them speak English. Yet somehow these children are going to pay for my retirement.

      Yeah, 'cause that guy with less than a ninth grade education who is roofing houses for 8 dollars an hour is not only going to be able to do that job for the next twenty years, he is suddenly going to get a raise to $45 per hour so as to be able to contribute enough to Social Security so as to pay for my retirement.
