A Guardian report says the Trump administration's mass deportation drive could cost American retirees roughly $2,000 a year in Social Security benefits. The analysis points to the loss of immigrant workers' payroll tax contributions, which help fund the retirement system. Critics argue the purge would weaken Social Security finances, adding a fiscal dimension to the immigration debate.
Why now: New reporting links the administration's immigration crackdown to direct financial losses for American retirees, making it personally relevant to many.
