Presidential Debate at CNN headquarters, Atlanta GA: on Social Security

Donald Trump: Migrants coming in will destroy Medicare & Social Security

Donald Trump: FactCheck: No,undocumented immigrants can't collect benefits

"Undocumented immigrants are not legally permitted to receive Social Security benefits and few actually do. When you apply for a job, you're required to provide your Social Security number. Undocumented immigrants, who don't have an Social Security number, may choose to use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or an ITIN. Those who use an ITIN cannot receive Social Security retirement benefits [but still must pay taxes]. Sometimes undocumented immigrants do receive retirement benefits by using a [borrowed or fake] Social Security number. A 2013 report found that $1 billion worth of retirement benefits were paid out to undocumented immigrants. However, undocumented immigrants paid a whopping $13 billion in payroll taxes."
