This will also have the effect of shifting burdens to the States and local communities and away from the Social Security safety net. I am confident that Vermonters and all Americans understand fairness. They understand respecting other people and respecting their contributions in terms of work and Social Security payments. They will not want to steal those contributions and benefits and deny fairness to lawful immigrants and their families. They also understand that if the Republicancontrolled Senate is prepared to take these Social Security funds today. the risk increases that their Social Security funds could be targeted tomorrow. After all. the Social Security Trust Fund is already being used to mask the deficit.
