A US citizen is entitled to receive full Social Security benefits even if he/she decides to retire in a any other country. There is no fear of deportation or any anxiety of re-entering the country. Citizens have the ease of leaving or re-entering the US without any hassles. A US citizen can also petition for his/her family members to become US citizens.
