Former President Donald Trump claimed in a fundraising email on Sunday that President Joe Biden flipped the bird to every senior citizen because giving legal status to undocumented immigrants will destroy Social Security.

Bidens Border BLOODBATH is bringing crime. Its bringing VIOLENCE. But the next target? YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY! the email reads. Friend, the Democrat push to give MASS AMNESTY to millions of illegals will DESTROY Social Security.

The message, from Trumps campaign committee and the Republican National Committee, offers a misleading impression about how immigration affects Social Security. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive Social Security retirement benefits, but many nevertheless pay into the Social Security system through payroll deductions.

Its misdirection and fearmongering to take peoples eye off the fact that Trump and his billionaires are the ones plotting to destroy Social Security, day and night, said Alex Lawson, executive director of the progressive group Social Security Works.
