A study should made to find out the increase of illegals after 2006 signing of the agreement. this stealing of social security monies to pay benefits to non-citizens was adopted by george w. bush a republican president when he and mexico’s president fox were great buddies visiting each other ranches.it was adopted in2006 and george w.. authorized the commisioner of social security to sign a agreement w/mexico to pay s.s. benefits non-citizens. it was voted on house and senate representives in 2006 and 95% of house and senate democrats voted in favor of the agreement,.there was no partisanship against such a unjust agreement..how could this be? where was the TEA PARTY then?

Illegals (who by definition also include those who are lawfully admitted to reside in the US) work and pay taxes, receive no public benefit (yes, I know this hurts, but do your research and see, there is a loophole for those over 65 which I agree is WRONG!) and then after a period of five years be able to apply for citizenship. This law allows them to receive Social Security for the work that they performed while in their "illegal" status. If they NEVER become citizens, the money that has been paid for Social Security and Medicare don't EVER go to them PERIOD April if your mother paid $200K into Social Security, she would have made $3.25 million dollars in her adult working life. Social Security accounts for 6.2% of wages earned, and Medicare 1.45% of wages earned. Learn how to read!

And how are they paying into it when they are paid under the table? Get to the polls and vote these lunatics out of office! ALL OF THEM!

Food, fuel, amunition - everything is being paid for now - just do their 'training' while guarding the boarder. It would not cost us any more dollars to use our military to ‘train’ at the boarder.

She paid in over $200k to social security and because she had no minor dependents at the time of her death, she got squat, nada, zilch. Well, actually we got a whopping $255. towards funeral expenses. So, social security is forced savings, and the gov't hopes you die before you collect. Yet illegals who cheat, lie and steal are given social security benefits by AMERICAN ELECTED OFFICIALS?!? Vote any bum out of office who voted for this bill and any other pro illegal bills! Find your elected officials at: www.vote-smart.org If you vote for a Democrat, then expect more of this kind of thing happening! There has never been a more partisan Congress that I can recall....

I believe reform is in order. I came here on a passport and then became a citizen it cost about 4000 and I worked before I became a citizen with the knowledge that until I became a citizen the benefits do not belong to me. I believe there should be an option where any illegal immigrants can file to become a citizen pay the same as I did and then go into the system. They would have to go through two criminal checks as I did over a period of time. After this process then they should allowed to stay and enter the system. There is a reason America has a screening process to protect the immigrants who want to come here and be a beneficial member of society from the others. I can’t believe this - This is crazy.

My father, as well as all the brave men and women who fought in WWII and other wars, did not risk life and limb to have this country degenerate to the point where illegals are being rewarded for being--illegal. No wonder they are border hopping at record rates. All the "goodies" lie just over that ridiculous fence that's supposed to protect our country from these lawbreakers. My father did not live long enough to see the mess the country he fought so hard for degenerate into this pre-3rd world entity. I can only imagine what he would say if he were still with us.
