RFK Jr. Proposes Immigration Increase to Aid Social Security Solvency

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed a projection from the 2026 Social Security Trustees Report, suggesting that an annual intake of 1.6 million immigrants could extend the program's solvency. This proposal aims to push the trust fund's depletion date from 2032 to 2035. The report also highlights a significant long-term shortfall and a declining worker-to-retiree ratio.
