        Even if that was true, the answer is not more immigrants; it is phase out social security and all entitlements.

        I don’t like this argument because it would suggest we should have immigration to fix a flawed government program. Immigration is essential for a variety of reasons, but it will not fix the flawed & underfunded entitlement programs.

        If you have a declining population and, consequently, less people to feed the elderly, then you will arrive to immigration as the only solution sooner or later.

        It’s necessary to have immigrants. Nevertheless, our current citizens pay less into Social Security than they take out & health care costs has risen as well. It’s more than an issue of population. It’s not a simple thing.

        Very poor argument. Raise the ceiling on the taxable income level.

        It is NOT entitlement, we worked for years and the government stole some of our earnings.... now they don't want to give it back!
