I hope I made this clearer now.

A) first of all you're not getting rid of Social Security no matter how much you want it to go away, so you have to deal with that reality.
B) It's not about illegals getting SS benefits. And benefits they would get wouldbe decades away. SS doesn't work that way. They problem is that thew way SS work is that you and me pay SS taxes those monies are not put into some account waiting for the day we retire that are IMMEDIATELY paid out to current retirees. So you have tens of million of retirees get a gauranteed amount of cash that's only goes UP every year and fewer and fewer workers paying into the the system to fund it. Yet those retirees are going to get their money, so where is the extra money need to pay these retirees going to come from? I'll tell you, higher FICA taxes that you get taken out of your paycheck or higher self-employeed taxes for those of us that work for ouselves. You know the same taxes illegals are currently NOT paying.
