Hasta La Vista, Social Security
About to become law is an agreement allowing illegal aliens to get Social Security benefits after only 18 months of employment in the U.S., further burdening a system on the brink of collapse.
Surveys have shown that more Americans believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects than in the promise that they’ll ever get back what they’ve put into the Social Security system. It also is against current law for employers knowingly to hire individuals who are in this country illegally.
So it must be somewhat disconcerting for them to find out that about to become law is an agreement signed on June 29, 2004, between the U.S. Commissioner of Social Security and the director general of the Mexican Social Security Institute that allows illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits if they have as little as 18 months of employment history. U.S. citizens must show 10 years, or 40 quarters of job history, to collect benefits.
The first public copy of the U.S.-Mexico Totalization Agreement has been obtained, and, no, it wasn’t on the first page of the New York Times. It was obtained after three years of wrangling and a Freedom of Information Act request by the TREA Senior Citizens League (tscl.org) which represents more than 1 million seniors. And, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details.
In a review requested by Congress, the Government Accounting Office said the agreement with Mexico involves “highly uncertain” costs and would affect the long-term solvency of the Social Security Trust Fund if the SSA has underestimated the number of beneficiaries by more than 25%.
18,
You getting the point very well.
Drug lords dont want it, they make to much money.
If we let in Every Mexican into the US, how many jobs in lower income would DROP?? and HOW LOW??
the mecican gov Cant control there OWN country, there is VERY little infrastructure, How much would it cost to rebuild ALL of Mexico??
This is so pathetic…there is nothing more you can really say. This country bends over backwards for illegal aliens. Illegal’s who are defiant, in your face and disrespectful. Why shouldn’t they be? Our government and President is handing the country over to them. There has to be something in this for the President that we don’t know about. Why would he proceed with open borders and the possibility of amnesty knowing how most Americans are so vehemently against it. There is something far more sinister going on here.
I just learned about this from my father. Is there anything we can do at this point? Letter writing?
The issue of illegal aliens is out of control. For God’s sake, we need to stop them from entering our country, get rid of the people who come here, get food stamps, housing, free health care, welfare and have kids. Then they clog up the school system, public works, cause car accidents, take American jobs. Why are we putting up with this? Now we are going to give them money for breaking into our country? Furthermore, they are told by physicians in their own countries to go to America for medical treatment if they can not afford health care in their own because we will give it to them for free. They step off the plane and are driven by ambulance to the nearest hospital free of charge. They did a big story on the Nightly News about this practice. People from Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. and we foot the bill. God forbid we take care of the poor father of 4 that has cancer and can’t work and needs surgery. No, he’s an American, so take his house, seize his car, sell his dog, whatever he has. Additionally, our soldiers in Iraq who are injured get a lower quality of care than these criminals. What the hell is wrong with everyone? Charity starts at home. We need to shut our doors and throw away the key, and ship these criminals back to where they came from, not give them social security benefits. For the moron that said the more people paying into the system, the more money we will have. How much do you think these thieves will contribute to the system in a mere 18 months? Not enough to justify their existence in this country. Gas up the boats and the planes and let’s get rid of them!
My back is all screwed up from an industrial accident and I’m raising my son on what little I get. Not only did I work long enogh to deserve my rights I served my country. Now here’s some screwed up Politicians who we know are going to line there pockets like they did with welfare, oH ya!!! lets not forget what happen there. Politicians and landlords got rich off the goverment and many areas went to shit with drugs and crime. Now thier trying to clean up all that mess, but it keeps geting passed on generation to generation. Shit! free money again? there wont be anybody in Mexico to call it a country anymore they’ll all be up here. GOD BLESS AMERICA?????????
