"Imagine if Biden or Obama" yes but this is real, everything about this is grossly inappropriate, just like Trump's failure to appoint a special prosecutor acceptable to Democrats.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."
In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
