There are many ways to debate illegal immigration, and it has become a huge political voting issue. But, how does it really affect the average American citizen, the people here in Cape May County? The answer is that it really doesn't. Social Security Administration reports that undocumented workers contribute about $15 billion a year to Social Security through payroll taxes, but only take out $1 billion. Few undocumented workers are eligible to receive benefits. Economists, of all political persuasions, agree that immigrants — those here legally or not — benefit the overall economy.
