We could add others.

    Pouring over the    |   Social Security is 
   border to bankrupt   |   only paid to US citizens
    Social Security     |  and lawfully present 
                        |      non-citizens

The truth being that if there are 10 milliion immigrants here illegally but paying FICA payroll taxes, they're paying into something that will never pay back and essentially subsidizing actual recipient benefits. And SURELY, they're all paying payroll taxes, right? Their employers wouldn't be exploiting their illegal status by having them work off the books for depressed wages as compensation for not reporting them to ICE, right?

Of course, there's one fundamental flaw with this policy humor meme. It requires an understanding of the history of physics and quantum state theories unlikely to be present in anyone needing to learn from the humor.

WTH
