> They do not pay into social security if they are completely undocumented because they can’t get a traditional paycheck.

This isn't true.

Some use fake/borrowed/stolen SSNs. Others do 1099 work on-the-books with an EIN.

> According to New American Economy, undocumented immigrants contributed $13 billion into the Social Security funds in 2016 and $3 billion to Medicare.

That’s irrelevant when you don’t have any per capita contributions. Just because some use a stolen SSN (which I’m sure you’ll assure me they only use for taxes and not benefits) doesn’t mean the majority do or that it’s a net contribution.
