When by LAW, they are never entitled to collect it? Why should the American government get to keep their hard-earned money?

Legal immigrants should have a Social Security #. If they are working, then they are getting all deductions that uncle SAM takes from all working citizens. This means they file tax returns and also get all the benefits that anyone paying into the system gets. Most immigrants file for citizenship within 5 years of their green card being issued. This then allows them to vote.
All this 'hard earned money' then goes to their families, usually in Mexico, which DOES NOT help the US economy. So who is hurting who?

You misunderstand the law. Legal immigrants are entitled to receive social security retirement benefits after paying into it, just like everyone else.

Deporting him is nice suitable. he's a criminal on many degrees. unlawful immigrant, drug person, and a deadbeat dad. A leopard doesnt change its spots. she will be able to by no skill get any significant aspect of help from him. Nor are the courts waiting to implement something hostile to him. he doesnt have a job that they could garnish the wages at. each and each of the courts can do is waste money and time or deport him. She made her mattress now she receives to lie in it.

Paying into social security not only helps the individual paying, but all people in the country. By offering social security, the nation is bettering society as a whole. As this helps everyone, all individuals benefitting from a better society as a whole should pay into social security. You could say it is in one's best interest, even if one never receives ss aid themself.

Legal immigrants are here legally they have green cards and probalby Social Sercurity cards. If you have SS number then you are required to pay SS it is the law. If SS goes broke before I can collect why should I have to pay too.

VOTE AGAINST THESES PEOPLE AND PARTY
Illegals granted Social Security
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 19, 2006
The Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment -- even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents.
"There was a felony they were committing, and now they can't be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me," said Sen. John Ensign, the Nevada Republican who offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions of the immigration reform bill. "It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment."
The Ensign amendment was defeated on a 50-49 vote.
"We all know that millions of undocumented immigrants pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for years and sometimes decades while they work to contribute to our economy," said Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican.
"The Ensign amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming Social Security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work in our community," he said. "If this amendment were enacted, the nest egg that these immigrants have worked hard for would be taken from them and their families."
Mr. Ensign was among 44 Republicans and five Democrats who voted to block such payouts.
"It makes no sense to reward millions of illegal immigrants for criminal behavior while our Social Security system is already in crisis," said Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican. "Why in the world would we endorse this criminal activity with federal benefits? The Senate missed a big opportunity to improve this bill, and I doubt American seniors will be pleased with the result."
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, said it would be unfair to deny illegals the benefits.
"We should not steal their funds or empty their Social Security accounts," he said. "That is not fair. It does not reward their hard work or their financial contributions. It violates the trust that underlies the Social Security Trust Fund."
Within hours, the vote had become an issue in this fall's elections, raised by a Republican challenger to Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan Democrat.
"Instead of protecting the retirement security of Americans who are earning an honest living and abiding by the laws of our country, Debbie Stabenow sided with people who are here illegally and abuse our Social Security system," Oakland County, Mich., Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a press release. "Allowing illegal immigrants to use their illegal work history as credit towards receiving Social Security benefits shows that Debbie Stabenow has forgotten who she is supposed to be working for in the U.S. Senate."
The Senate also yesterday approved an amendment to adopt English as the nation's official language, while reversing course from the day before on protections for U.S. workers who will face new competition from unskilled immigrant labor under the Senate bill. In addition, senators voted last night to kill an amendment that would have specified that the guest-worker program will not provide visas that would provide a path to citizenship.
The only good thing in this proposed bill is the English
as official language part.

Why do Americans living abroad have to pay US taxes when we can't get welfare, unemployment, medicaid, or any of the benefits paying taxes entitles us too?
I guess because its best for the Nation if not the individual.

Social security, just about the only respect the older generation gets from the younger set.
