I agree you have identified a serious problem that has the potential to be solved by allowing massive immigration. I think that given the current nature of our politicians on both sides of the isle that we are not capable of achieving a genuine solution to both issues. I fear we would create something that achieves short term political goals while kicking a far worse problem down the road.

Now if we could change SSI to allow individual accounts (something similar to what Bush proposed) complemented by seriously targeted immigration - where we dramatically increase the number of folks who are skilled & motivated (IE, those demographic groups that have proven themselves productive members of society) & severely restricts the numbers of those who have proven to be a net drain on the system, then I'd be all for it.
