And let us not forget the Social Security system. Recent studies show that undocumented workers sustain the Social Security system with a subsidy as much as $7 billion a year. Let me repeat that: $7 billion a year.

A lot of us take Social Security because we see it as an entitlement. But if we don't need it, I can't think of a better, more appropriate use to use (it) than helping others.

I do not believe that the Social Security system is in crisis.

Mr. Speaker, Americans want, need, and rightfully expect Congress to protect them from the prying eyes of identity thieves and give them back control of their Social Security numbers and personal health information.

Under the current pay-as-you-go Social Security system, not one person is actually guaranteed benefits.

Raising the minimum wage means we have workers paying more in to support the Social Security system.
