  Programs Americans rely on, like Social Security and Medicare, lean on tax revenue from both documented and undocumented workers, even though people living in the US illegally are ineligible to receive these benefits.
The article from MSN discusses how undocumented immigrants in the U.S. contribute significantly to Social Security and Medicare through payroll taxes, despite being ineligible to benefit from these programs. These workers use Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to file taxes, contributing billions annually. For instance, in 2010, it was estimated that undocumented immigrants paid about $13 billion into Social Security. This contribution comes from their employment in various sectors, often in jobs that are critical yet underpaid. The funds they contribute help sustain these social programs for eligible recipients, but due to their immigration status, these workers cannot access benefits like retirement, disability, or Medicare. The article highlights the irony and the ethical considerations of this situation, where these immigrants support systems they are barred from using, often living in fear of deportation while contributing to the economic fabric of the country.
