The Social Security Administration receives billions in free money

each year from an unexpected source: undocumented immigrants.

This group paid an estimated $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes

in 2022, according to a recent analysis from the Institute on

Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning tax research group.

Social Security benefits without a change to their immigration

status, the billions they pour into the program effectively act as a

subsidy for American beneficiaries.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has vowed to carry out the

nation’s largest mass deportation program to date, and restrict

legal pathways to immigration. It’s hard to predict whether the

incoming administration will be able to follow through with its

most aggressive promises, among them sending home the

estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the

United States, most of whom are of working age.
