Otherwise SS would have gone belly up decades ago, as the government so elated with the surplus (from Boomer's wages) in 65, began to spend it and they didn't stop when the well went dry.

btw: when they (u.s.) legalize that an immigrant (not born on this soil) can run for the highest office in the land, what will people do? --- Move to China?

Watch the (declining) population numbers as the future is going to hold one hell of a surprise for many a country. China, too.
Ah I see, the argument that the illegals contribute more than they take.

LOL more baloney

How is anyone collecting SS from "the ones who cannot receive benefits"? Why would an illegal use a fake SSN? Probably to commit some kind of fraud or other crime. So they likely take more out of the system, and send to Mexico, then add in.

Plus any taxes from wages illegals contribute will likely be contributed by someone legal if this illegal not here either in the form of a legal having that job, or increasing the value of the legal person's labor in another job.

First off this has nothing to do with the OP and try as I might to tie this into something China related, I can not. Therefore this is the last post on illegal immigration in this thread.

Social Security: Better Coordination among Federal Agencies Could Reduce Unidentified Earnings Reports

"Each year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) receives millions of employer-submitted earnings reports (Form W-2s) that it is unable to place in an individual Social Security record. If the Social Security number (SSN) and name on a W-2 do not match SSA's records, the W-2 is retained in the Earnings Suspense File (ESF). SSA's ability to match earnings reports is essential to calculating Social Security benefits. Because of concerns about the size of the ESF, GAO was asked to determine (1) how SSA processes workers' earnings reports, (2) the types of errors in ESF reports and the characteristics of employers whose reports are in the ESF, (3) how often earnings from repeatedly used SSNs have been reinstated and who receives the earnings from theses reports, and (4) what key factors contribute to ESF postings."

There's a reason they are not given citizenship status in the u.s. ....

Remember the social credit system, that the west claims is some dystopian, Orwellian system of oppression?

In this new video, independent political observer Brian Berletic analyzes the usual Western articles on the social credit system and shows that, unlike what they claim in their headlines, there is no such system to begin with:

Why can't you just focus on the content for a change? Afraid, I suppose...

Zero Covid is about as close to a "dystopian, Orwellian system of oppression" as it gets and you can't blame that on Western media.

Nobody in America should ever support China for any reason. It's time to bring back manufacturing and employ Americans, right here in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis, Milwaukee and all the other small towns and cities around America.

Bring it back and Make America Great Again for all of our people, especially those in bombed out cities listed above!

It has nothing to do with the social credit system.

It is not zero Covid these days, but dynamic zero Covid.

As long as Covid was dangerous, I supported that approach. Now as the virus seems to be getting milder, they might change their approach sooner or later.

Also, you should listen to people actually living in China, not Western reports about China. The difference is huge:

Not to mention that Australia, New Zealand and other countries also had a zero Covid approach for a long time.
