Trump tries to tie Social Security woes to illegal immigration

(NewsNation) — President Joe Biden said making Social Security solvent is an easy fix.

“Make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share,” he said during Thursday’s CNN debate.

Former President Donald Trump countered by saying “This man is going to single-handedly destroy Social Security,” but offered no concrete proposal, instead steering the debate back to immigration.

“Social Security … he’s destroying it because millions of people are pouring into our country and they’re putting them onto Social Security,” Trump said. “They’re putting ‘em onto Medicare and Medicaid. Putting them into hospitals. They’re taking the place of our citizens.”
