Immigrants living in the US illegally pay taxes that support Social Security and Medicare but don't receive their benefits.

Deportations could also increase healthcare costs and shrink the industry's workforce.

This comes as America 's 65-and-older population is growing, and the birthrate isn't keeping up, meaning working-age taxpayers may not be able to support the growing demand for retirement benefits without population increases from continued immigration.
