Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Migrants who arrive here as adults would never come close to matching the amount paid out if they were given Social Security benefits.
57% : According to the department, the subpoena requests all records from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, the agency that administers the state program, to determine if ineligible immigrants received supplemental security income from the Social Security Administration over the last four years.
50% : The additional $2.8 billion in state funding will also unlock matching federal money to cover costs already committed through June.
50% : Democrats always argue that migrants work and many pay taxes, which is true, but most Americans don't even pay enough into Social Security to cover the cost of their eventual benefits.
43% : " This all follows from President Trump's signing of a memo last month to prevent Social Security benefits going to non-citizens and to investigate misuse of federal funds.
36% : The Trump administration announced Monday that it has launched an investigation into California's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, a state program that provides monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, and disabled non-citizens who are ineligible for Social Security benefits due to their immigration status.
35% : That's why Social Security is once again on the verge of going broke.
30% : Policing Social Security Act fraud is critical because the Act contains not only traditional Social Security provided to older Americans, but also unemployment insurance, disability insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, TANF, and other programs.
21% : President Trump believes that taxpayer-funded benefits should be provided only to eligible persons and must not encourage or reward illegal immigration to the United States.
