thedailycaller--2020-09-08--RALEY: No, Mass Immigration Won’t Save Social Security

It ’ s no secret that the Social Security program faces a very real threat of running out of money .
Thanks to impressive advancements in the medical world , the ratio of workers to retirees is now decreasing too quickly , and the future availability of retirement funds for millions of Americans is in serious doubt .
Internal agency assessments predict that the program ’ s trust fund reserves will be completely depleted by 2034 unless significant reforms are enacted before then .
Of course , many open-border advocates use this as an opportunity to call for more mass-immigration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aliens , to immediately boost the number of workers in the United States .
However , will simply adding new migrants to the economy solve the impending financial crisis facing the Social Security program ?
Any way you approach that question , the answer is a resounding “ no.
” Unchecked immigration will not save Social Security .
In fact , the Social Security Advisory Board wrote in a 2005 report that they “ do not view immigration as a panacea – or free lunch – for saving Social Security.
” The argument @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our federal retirement programs is based on the concept that importing more immigrants into our economy will immediately increase the worker to retiree ratio , giving the Social Security trust fund a quick infusion of cash .
And while this theory is correct , it fails to consider the long-term negative repercussions of such a strategy – repercussions that could condemn the long-term solvency of the program .
A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform ( FAIR ) has found that the average career length of immigrants is approximately 5-10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is thanks in large part to current immigration policies that favor bloodlines over merit .
These policies have led to the average age of new migrants growing from 26 years old in 2000 , to 31 in 2017 .
Because of this , migrants ultimately contribute less in Social Security taxes than they receive in retirement benefits .
In fact , the report found that the average foreign-born worker receives back between 110 and 120 percent of what they pay into the program over the course of their careers , compared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ citizens .
To save Social Security , we must do more than simply increase the ratio of workers to retirees .
We need to ensure that those workers produce long , fruitful careers in the United States .
A good start to achieving this goal would be to pass the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy ( RAISE ) Act , which was introduced by Senators Tom Cotton ( R-Arkansas ) and David Perdue ( R-Georgia ) .
The RAISE Act would reform our current immigration system by ending unfair “ chain-migration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system that favors merit .
This would include placing priority on younger migrants who hold job skills that are currently needed in our economy .
Long careers in high-earning jobs means more contributions into federal programs like Social Security .
In his 1934 speech to Congress , Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his intention to create a Social Security program that “ protects the average citizen ” and preserves “ the active interest of the nation.
” However , the program obviously can not do that if it ’ s facing bankruptcy .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the problem if we are truly interested in saving Social Security .

thedailycaller--2020-09-08--REVIEW: ‘Tenet’ Is An Outstanding Movie From Christopher Nolan

Ladies and gentlemen , I ’ m happy to announce that “ Tenet ” is an outstanding movie .
Now , I ’ m going to keep this review free of spoilers .
So , if that ’ s what you ’ re looking for , then you ’ re going to have to go elsewhere .
( REVIEW : ‘ Westworld ’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters ) What I will say is that I was so incredibly amped for “ Tenet.
” It was my first time in a movie theater since the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my expectations were through the roof .
With popcorn , peanut M & Ms and a Kind Bar in my hands , I entered the theater to soak up Christopher Nolan ’ s new movie after it was delayed multiple times .
The plot is pretty complex .
To put it in the simplest terms without giving anything away , it follows spies through time as they uncover a sinister plot to bring about a horrific event .
That ’ s about all I can say without tipping the cards too much .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Christopher Nolan won ’ t be disappointed at all .
Is it his best movie ever ?
No , but it ’ s still more than worth the price of admission , and you have to see this in theaters .
Watching it on TV won ’ t do “ Tenet ” nearly enough justice .
The action scenes are simply absurd as we watch Robert Pattinson and John David Washington run around trying to save the world .
Honestly , I ’ m not even sure how they filmed some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so real .
A major plot point of “ Tenet ” is stuff being inverted .
Again , I ’ m not going to say much , but you ’ ll understand exactly what I ’ m talking about once you see it .
The inverted actions scenes are absurd to watch unfold , and Nolan should be proud as all hell for the way they look .
Here ’ s my only major critique of the “ Tenet , ” and it ’ s really not a big deal .
There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I felt a little lost at times .
It all tied itself up nicely by the end , but I ’ d be lying if I said there weren ’ t points where I didn ’ t fully understand the concepts of what was going on .
This was probably on purpose seeing as how the entire film is about spies who can jump time .
Naturally , just like with any Christopher Nolan movie , nothing is really like it appears to be .
There are a few great twists along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very confident there ’ s a sequel coming .
Overall , I can ’ t recommend “ Tenet ” enough .
I give it a solid 8/10 .
After seeing it again and understanding the concepts a bit better , that score will probably go up to an 8.5/10 .
Go see it .
You can thank me later .

Chase Brice is the starting quarterback of the Duke Blue Devils.
Duke announced that the former Clemson backup to Trevor Lawrence would open the season as the starter against Notre Dame for their Sept. 12 showdown. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

As nerdy as it might sound, I was fascinated by Brice when he was at Clemson, and I think he provides Duke a very solid option at QB.
While Brice’s playing time at Duke was very limited, the young man is very skilled. It’s hard to see the field when Trevor Lawrence and Kelly Bryant are ahead of you.

However, make no mistake about it. Brice can play. When Lawrence went down against Syracuse in 2018, he stepped in and led the Tigers to a big win.
The man has a fire in his stomach that you rarely see in guys that are relegated to the bench to start the game.

Now, he’s in control of the offense for the Duke Blue Devils. Outside of Daniel Jones, he’s probably their best quarterback in a long time.
It should be a ton of fun to see what he can do wearing blue and white this season.
