Should illegal immigrants receive Social Security benefits?

[P12]

I know this is not firearms related. Although the more money the gov takes is less for ammo and toys.
Thought some of you might want to know about this.

Should illegal immigrants receive Social Security benefits? Yes, according to many
politicians, bureaucrats, and special interest groups in Washington. They aren't
just saying yes, however, they are working quietly to get their way with this
so-called "totalization" program.

"Social Security must not become a global welfare system. This outrageous proposal
is projected to cost the already fragile Social Security system more than one
billion dollars annually! Social Security was designed to provide retirement income
for American citizens who worked in the United States. Paying benefits to
noncitizens is an insult to millions of Americans who pay into Social Security their
entire lives, pledge their loyalty to America as citizens, yet now face the
possibility of a bankrupt system when they retire."
--Congressman Ron Paul, Feb. 6, 2003

"If top officials at the State Department and Social Security Administration have
their way, up to $345 billion -- or more -- could be siphoned from the Social
Security 'trust fund' over the next couple of decades, mostly to pay benefits to
Mexican citizens who worked illegally in the United States."
--Joel Mowbray, The Washington Times, Jan. 9, 2003

"Mexican President Vincente Fox has been pushing President Bush to sign a Social
Security agreement with Mexico as something of a consolation prize to make up for
Bush's failure to pursue promised immigration reform, according to Latino lobbyists
close to the Fox administration."
--Jonathan Weisman, The Washington Post, Dec. 19, 2002

"...U.S. taxpayers should say 'no' to Mexico's attempt to shift its social welfare
burdens onto the U.S. taxpayer."
--Phyllis Schlafly, Jan. 15, 2003

"Now is the time for grassroots conservatives to sound the alarm about this plan,
when pressure can still be applied to stop it."
--Paul Weyrich, Feb. 26, 2003

We must apply pressure now. Urge your U.S. representative to cosponsor H.R. 489 -
The Social Security for American Citizens Only Act. Send a message today. Go to

[Blackhawk]

No.

 

[foghornl]

In one word........

NO !

 

[TimH]

Ditto Blackhawk

 

[Schuey2002]

I gotta' go with Blackhawk on this one... No way!!:banghead:

 

[critter]

Illegals? NO nor any other benefits provided by the US constitution or social programs! IF they are owed those benefits, then anybody else in any other country is too! Again, NO!

(What part of 'NO' don't they understand?)

 

[AZTOY]

NO


MAIL SENT!

 

[Delmar]

Sure is nice to have these fools in DC tell us about all the non-Americans we have to support. NO

 

[hops]

No. I think we need a Fox hunt.

 

[bbrins]

NO BLEEPING WAY!!!!! Just the idea is insulting, I will probably never see a dime of my Social Security and they want to give it to some non-taxpaying illegal immigrant!?!? I say we tell el presidente (sp?) Vincente Fox to go relieve himself up a rope.

 

[DeltaElite]

No and deport them immediately.

 

[NewShooter78]

Good lord, NO! I'm sick of seing illegals getting more of my money than I ever will from the gov. The should tell Fox to go sit and spin. :banghead:

 

[CZ-75]

NO!

 

[3 gun]

NO!! And they shouldn't be voting either.

 

[Greg L]

Guess I'll go with the flow and vote NO also.

(of course that would have been my answer too if I was the first to respond )

Greg

 

[wingman]

Lets see, free medical, free school, free
lunch program, free dental in some
states, (could this be the reason my
taxes are so high)

 

[TheOtherOne]

Hmmm.....

Well, after carefully considering the responses I'm going to have to go with a resounding "Yes".... errr I mean, No

 

[Monkeyleg]

It's bad enough that the government takes eight cents out of every dollar I make (which makes saving for retirement much more difficult) and throws it at pork barrel projects. And SS's annual return is an abysmal 1.2%.

Now they want to dilute the fund by giving money to non-citizens?

Open your windows right now and you'll hear my answer to the question.


NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UnknownSailor]

NO

 

[Kevlarman]

Of course not!

 

[P95Carry]

NO!

There are enough things bleeding the coffers dry without this.

 

[labgrade]

double tap ...

 

[labgrade]

Not only should illegals NOT receive any bennies, neither should we, the "born heres," unless that we should get what our own Congress-Critters get - their own up-scale benny-fits.

Sauce for the goose.

Why is it that the Congress-Critters get a subsidized retrirement/health-care system while the rest of us actually have to pay for it?

If it's good enough for them, I say it's good enough for us.

Sadly, ther's not enough (cough) $s in the budget for the "rest of us."

Yeah right = "classless society." Uh-huh.

Saw a bumper sticker:

"You think health care is expensive now? Wait till it's free."

Same-same for so much of our "stuff."

Lookit.

I'm not for any freebees anywhere. Not what we're founded on.

While we're at knockin' down the "no illegals"-stuff, we oughta knock down the extras the .Guv-folk get too.

Wipe the slate clean ....

 

[rock jock]

Any politician who votes for such a thing should be tried, convicted, and punished for treason.

 

[Intune]

There's more

Heard today o the G Gordon show that WA is trying to push through a bill that will allow ILLEGAL aliens to attend state college at the resident rate. That's right, not get deported when they find you but enjoy paying a cheaper rate than I could send my CITIZEN child for. They said that a few states, TX, CA and one other that I can't recall, already allow this horsepucky. Close the darn borders and start cleaning house!
