Congress is the one; specifically democrats, who created the problem. The Carter Admin made it available to everyone regardless of citizenship status. Since then you get on it for both real and imagined problems.

Yes. They could raise the FICA tax and/or reduce benefits.

Eliminating " refugees " claims to Social Security benefits they never paid into would certainly take a load off the system .
