Trump immigrant purge could cost Americans $2,000 a year in social security
Original: Trump immigrant purge could cut social security for Americans by $2,000 a year
An analysis reported by The Guardian says mass deportations of undocumented immigrants under Donald Trump could shrink social security funding by roughly $2,000 a year for American beneficiaries. Immigrant workers pay payroll taxes into the system while often drawing few benefits, so removing them would reduce the revenue supporting retirees' payments. Critics say the policy would hurt the very voters it claims to protect.
Why now: Deportation policy is a central Trump issue, and new analysis suggesting it would reduce Americans' social security payments is drawing wide attention.
