Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits, you pay in, you get out. And guess what? Millions of non-citizens do pay payroll taxes with no guarantee of getting those benefits back. That’s money supporting a system they may never use.Nor was our social security/medicare safety net intended to benefit non citizens.
If someone wants the benefits of American life, they need to apply for admittance and citizenship. If they don't want to do that, yet pine for the same benefits, they need to change their country's rules/laws from the shitholes they are, to something like ours.
Before calling other countries “shitholes,” how about consider how U.S. policies, coups, economic exploitation, and military interference have contributed to their instability? Many people aren’t just fleeing poverty, they’re fleeing chaos America helped create. Your obnoxious xenophobia somehow blocks you from understanding that basic concept.
The real issue is folks punching down while billionaires and big corporations keep dodging taxes and draining public resources.
