And it makes me wonder why Paul Ryan has been all for all of this nonsense. The only thing I can think of is the SSI ( and or Medicaid and Medicare ) "Trust Funds" ( yes don't laugh ) are so FUBAR'd that they need these cheap workers to pay into it to keep it afloat, and they know it and they are afraid to tell us. And if they told us how Fubar'd it is... Well you know that drill....
I agree concerning cash flow in the Social Security and Medicare programs.
I’ve made the exact same argument on other threads.
But I think the political factor trumps everything else.
New immigrant citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party.
If the situation was reversed, if they voted 80% for Conservatives, the immigration door would slam shut in a microsecond.
