Social Security Benefits For Illegal Aliens
As if the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security weren't already doomed by Dems' refusal to allow even partial privatization, it has now come to light that our government will be paying benefits to Mexican citizens who worked in this country while here illegally, using stolen Social Security numbers.
A confidential 2004 agreement between the USA and Mexico could require Social Security to pay out billions to Mexican criminals. The document detailing this treachery was coughed up by the government only after a prolonged legal struggle by the TREA Senior Citizens League.
Although illegal immigrants still aren't eligible for Social Security benefits, their illegal work history will count toward benefits eligibility when they are granted citizenship — and millions inevitably will be, just as soon as the Dems in Congress can push through a shamnesty bill, which Bush has made clear he will eagerly sign.
On a tip from Bergbirk.

It would be so nice to have politicians with some balls.

The Social Security Totalization Agreement was reached in Waco, Texas in 2004 between Bush and Vicente Fox. It is part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
But it gets worse.
While we must pay into the SS fund for 10 years to be fully vested, illegals, who have stolen someone else's SS# and are in fact, criminals, will only have to pay into the system for 10 quarters or 2 1/2 years. And no, they will not have to be citizens in order to reap the benefits of being criminals. Nor will they have had to apply for citizenship. It is a gift from all us stupid taxpayers who will probably never see the first SS check.
It will also make their family members eligible, no matter what nation they live in.

What did President Bush get for selling our Social Security Benefits down the river? Does he get 70 Virgins when he dies and goes to heaven? Why else would he be selling our country off piece by piece???? It is about time that we the citizens take up for ourselves and make them face us in all these situations--what are we waiting for--think they will come to their senses--I think not????
