The average American spends decades working, paying taxes, and contributing to the country only to retire on a modest fixed income.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are told billions more must be allocated each year to house, feed, and provide services for people who entered the country unlawfully.
Whether you support that policy or not, it’s fair to ask:
Why does it often feel easier to find funding for new arrivals than to strengthen benefits for the Americans who spent a lifetime paying into the system?
Something about those priorities deserves a serious conversation.
