Cutting immigration in half as Trump/KKK want is a HUGE backdoor cut to Social Security

Cutting undocumented immigrants in half as TRUMP/KKK wishes will cost Social Security at least $2.4 trillion over the next 75 years.

IOW in addition to being cruel and ignorant as hell, rescinding DACA is part of a HUGE backdoor cut to Social Security.

Undocumented workers pay billions of dollars into Social Security each year, but earn no benefits as a result of those contributions.

In 2010, unauthorized immigrants paid $13 billion into Social Security & received only $1 billion in service - a net contribution of $12 billion

From 2000 to 2011, unauthorized immigrants paid $35.1 billion more into Medicare than they withdrew.
