now, in a confessional -- congressional hearing today, budget chairman jodey arrington estimated cost of the biden illegal invasion $150 billion for things like health care, education, and criminal justice. i'm sure that is a low-ball, there is no telling how high the cost of criminality and violence around the country, especially in the blue state sanctuary cities. new york city for example, estimated 12 billion-dollar cost but that was last summer, nearly a year ago. you can be sure the current estimate is lot higher. additionally evidence mounting that biden's illegals who have been given work permits or even green cards have been taking jobs away from native-born americans. at a minimum the surge of illegals has reduced wages. now at the recent campus riots the spotlight temporarily moved away from the open border crisis but as polls show, americans have neither forgotten nor forgiven joe biden's failure to act. and that is the riff. now, let's turn to our own kelly o'grady for the latest on trump legal attacks blowing up. kelly, thank you for this. what can you tell us? >> report

i've been encouraged by the bipartisan efforts of jodey arrington and scott peters to put together a commission for congress to look at a picture of the federal budget and try to stabilize debt. social security is only one aspect of the problem. it contributes one third of the obligations. if we use all the additional tax revenue, how will we make sure that there's enough revenue available to protect seniors health when they are six because medicare has a greater shortfall. we need to look at the full picture. >> social security, there's an important distinction between insurance. social discerning doesn't add a penny to the deficit. it is financed benefits would be cut across the board, so it's important -- and just as private pensions, that's how social security's treated and should be treated. it's important to understand what you need for events that are unlikely to happen but serious if they do is insurance and that savings. need life insurance and disability insurance which are benefits that social security provides. but most of us will reach retirement age you don't know it 20

been very encouraged by the efforts -- bipartisan efforts by house budget committee chairman jodey arrington, and scott peters from the democratic side, to put together a fiscal commission for congress to look at a holistic picture of the federal budget and try to stabilize the debt. social security's only one aspect of our debt problem. it contributes roughly 1/3 to our unfunded obligations. the big elephant in the room is medicare. and if we use all of the additional tax revenue to shore up social security benefits, how are we going to make sure there is enough revenue available to protect seniors' health when they are sick? because medicare has an even greater shortfall. we shouldn't look at these things in a vacuum. we need to take a look at the full picture. host: before we takes calls miss altman? guest: social security is an important distinction between insurance and savings. social security does not add a penny 209 deficit -- penny to the deficit. it is completely self-financed. not sufficient income to cover any costs including administrative. benefits would be cut across the board

republicans in their heart, i know representative jodey arrington understands this, on their budget committee, know that the american people desperately need this. more than 50 years since we have enhanced a program for the people of this country? it's outrageous. you can emprays tore billionaires, as though they needed them, and yet a tax cut for a person working who finds themselves working after they're retired is double taxed on their social security. there should be outrage on this floor and demanding a vote. and god only knows that if you have a better idea or a better program, please, put it forward. let's do the democratic thing and vote on it. the gentleman from rhode island campaigned on this throughout his effort to be successfully elected to the united states congress. i recognize the gentleman from rhode island. >> i thank my colleague, the gentleman from connecticut, for yielding. i rise today to address an issue that is personal to me and many americans, the sacred trust of medicare and social security. mr. speaker, i was raised by a mom who works double shifts as a nurse in rh

i have been encouraged by the efforts of jodey arrington and scott peters. he put together a commission for congress to look at a holistic picture and try to stabilize the diet because social security is one aspect of our problem. it contributes roughly one third to our unfunded allegations. the big elephant in the room as medicare. how are we going to make sure that there is enough revenue available to protect seniors when they are sick? we should not look at these things in a vacuum. we need to take a look at the full picture. guest: social security, there is an important difference. social security does not add a penny. it is financed. it does not cover every penny of cost. benefits are cut across. it is very important. just as they are segregating from the general fund, that is how social security is and should be treated. it is important to understand that what we need for events that are unlikely to happen but they do is insurance, not savings. life insurance and disability insurance. most of us will reach retirement age, but you do not know at age 20
