Social Security must be strengthened not decimated.
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.

Nationally, about 6 in 10 nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

@amberchrist.bsky.social explains, “Medicare has huge gaps in coverage and Medicare is really expensive. It is Medicaid, not Medicare, that is the primary payer of long-term care in this country.”
California has a lot to lose if Trump slashes Medicaid. Seniors, kids and more could face coverage cuts
Almost 15 million Californians have health care coverage through Medi-Cal, a program that would lose billions if President Trump cuts Medicaid.

Trump’s deportation strategy is akin to evicting the architects and builders while claiming to renovate the house—economically reckless and historically shortsighted. Perhaps if he studied the nation’s foundation, he’d realize that immigrants aren’t the problem—they’re the blueprint.
