SOME non-citizens can receive social security retirement benefits. Not all. There are specific criteria, and the person has to meet ALL of it, to be eligible.
For example - DACA recipients have to pay into Social Security via payroll deductions like everyone else, but they are /not/ eligible to receive Social Security retirement benefits. They have no path to citizenship.
