2022 AL Senate race: on Social Security

Mo Brooks: Introduced No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act

Brooks has introduced the "No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act of 2020." The bill would prohibit the distribution of Social Security benefits to illegal aliens who perform unauthorized work in the United States. Demonstrating their contempt for American law, illegal aliens often use fraudulent Social Security numbers to flout current law which forbids illegal aliens from receiving Social Security payments.

Will Boyd: Oppose privatization of Social Security; protect benefits

Protect Social Security's guaranteed benefits while also promoting individual investment accounts
Oppose privatization of Social Security (I believe benefits should continue to be governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 which protects the rights of employment benefit plan recipients and their beneficiaries.)
