why are we allowing our gov't to take soc sec disablity from people to give it to illegal aliens?

Answer 1

I've heard that and read it in the paper. I guess we don't count for much.

Answer 2

Yes and more from disability (hardest hit) and the elders. And the true poor.

Why why why--a crooked world


Not just the government only--people don't want Nation Health or to pay from their taxes more money to these services. No one cares till it hits them.

Answer 3

We're not allowing the government to do that; they're not doing it. Illegals can't collect social security because they don't have valid social security numbers (even fake papers won't let them claim social security money). They do pay into social security though. Check your facts.

Answer 5

illegals are using our programs including ss and welfare. this link tells a lot more than what has been mentioned here.
http://www.cis.org/articles/2001/mexico/means.html

Use of Means-Tested Programs by Legal and Illegal Immigrants. Using the same method to distinguish illegal aliens as before, Figure 16 reports estimated welfare use for households headed by legal and illegal Mexican immigrants. Not surprisingly, Figure 16 shows that almost without exception, use of means-tested programs is higher for households headed by legal Mexican immigrants than for those headed by illegal Mexican immigrants. For many programs, in fact, use rates for legal Mexican immigrants are more than twice that of native-headed households. However, the results also indicate that illegal immigration imposes significant costs on public coffers. Whereas 14.8 percent of native households use at least one of the five major welfare programs, among households headed by an illegal alien from Mexico the figure is 24.9 percent. Illegal immigrants from Mexico primarily receive welfare benefits on behalf of their American-born children. Overall, the results in Figure 16 indicate that whether legal or illegal, immigrants from Mexico make heavy use of means-tested programs. The findings in Figure 16 also suggest that one possible unintended consequence of legalizing Mexican illegals already in the country would be to substantially increase their use of means-tested programs.

Use of means-tested programs by illegal immigrants from Mexico points to a fundamental problem that would almost certainly exist with any guestworker program. Even if guestworkers are made technically ineligible for means-tested programs, it seems almost certain that they would make use of them anyway by receiving benefits on behalf of their native-born children. After all, the findings in Figure 16 indicate that despite an outright ban on their use, illegals from Mexico actually use such programs at higher rates than natives in many cases. Any guestworker program would bring in large numbers of immigrants from Mexico with very low skill levels and resulting low incomes. Their low incomes coupled with their children’s eligibility would mean very significant costs to taxpayers even if the guestworkers themselves are successfully barred from using such programs.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, we do not have a say anymore what they do with our money. Maybe if a democrat gets in next term things will change.

Answer 7

OK, big claim but where are you cites.

My recollection is that the wealthy are getting tax cuts and the elderly are getting program cuts!

Answer 8

Because we have no real voice in the actions of our government anymore.

Answer 9

The first response hit it right on the head....
