Immigrants and Social Security

Here’s an article that walks the reader through a current-day misconception re: immigrants.

What effect do immigrants have on Social Security?  Trump supporters tend to believe that “real” Americans are harmed via immigrants’ mooching money out of the pool of money that citizens paid in.  When given a few moments of thought, however, this idea is revealed as empty, since people without Social Security numbers cannot receive benefits.

In fact, the truth is the precise opposite.  Non-citizens working in the United States pay taxes into a system without any means of benefiting.  In just one more way, we exploit them.
