They may be illegal but they have shored up social security with funds the US fails to advise you of. Most of these workers will never collect a penny in social security benefits
Seven million undocumented workers in the U. S. pay $7 BILLION annually into Social Security.The common yap on the street characterizes Mexican immigrants as people who take advantage of the system here & return nothing in the process. Leaving aside for now the matter of billions paid in sales taxes across the nation, since the late 1980s when the system began receiving millions of obviously bogus W-2 earnings statements, complete with fake SS numbers, it began holding them in what is called a "earnings suspense file." During the 1990s, $189 billion in wages ended up in this file. In our current decade the file is growing at a rate of over $50 billion annually. In 2002, nine MILLION W-2s with incorrect numbers were filed away accounting for 1.5% of total reported earnings for the entire nation
