Legion Troll
A fine upstanding poster
Donald Trump recently proclaimed, “I will never lie to you.” That, of course, is a lie.
Some of Trump’s lies are inconsequential, like his claim to never lie; others, though, are extremely damaging, furthering his political agenda while undermining the security of us all.
His recent Social Security lie, embedded in his first general election ad, falls into that latter category.
In that ad, Trump includes a lie that can be found circulating around the internet but contains not one iota of truth. The ad claims that “illegals” receive Social Security. The exact opposite is true.
Millions of "illegal" workers, working in jobs where Social Security is automatically deducted from paychecks, contribute billions of dollars to Social Security every year.
Yet, by law, they cannot collect a penny.
The Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration has estimated that "illegals" have contributed over $100 billion to Social Security in the last decade alone.
