This was when Clinton was convinced to shut down the border or at least more than it was. This lead to the explosion in number of undocumented. Instead of one member of a family coming here, earning money to send home, and then returning after 3-6-12 months they brought the whole family.

They’re here to work which means they pay SS taxes. At the time it was estimated that the undocumented were funding 2-4% of SS ABD would never file for benefits.
