Have you heard the what is next on the agenda re: illegal immigrants?

Question

BEWARE U.S. CITIZENS: The U.S. has on it's new agenda to pay all ILLEGAL immigrants social security benefits after working only 18 MONTHS in the U.S. Even if they are using illegal S.S. numbers.

We all need to pay attention to this, know who is pushing it, and get involved.

Social Security is broken now and people paying so much into this today will never see a cent of it.

Answer 1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After numerous refusals over three and a half years, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the first known public copy of the U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement. The government was forced to make the disclosure in response to lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act by TREA Senior Citizens League, a 1.2 million-member nonpartisan seniors advocacy group.

The Totalization Agreement could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.

The agreement between the U.S. and Mexico was signed in June 2004, and is awaiting President Bush's signature. Once President Bush approves the agreement, which would be done without Congressional vote, either House of Congress would have 60 days to disapprove the agreement by voting to reject it.

"The Social Security Administration itself warns that Social Security is within decades of bankruptcy -- yet, they seem to have no problem making agreements that hasten its demise," said Ralph McCutchen, Chairman of the TREA Senior Citizens League.

The U.S. currently has 21 similar agreements in effect with other nations, which are intended to eliminate dual taxation for persons who work outside their country of origin. All of the agreements are with developed nations with economies similar to that of the U.S.

For example, a worker who turns 62 after 1990 generally needs 40 calendar quarters of coverage to receive retirement benefits. Under totalization agreements, workers are allowed to combine earnings from both countries in order to qualify for benefits. The Agreement with Mexico, like other totalization agreements, would allow workers to qualify with just six quarters, or 18 months, of U.S. coverage.

But Mexico's retirement system is radically different than that of other participating countries. For example, only 40 percent of non-government workers participate in Mexico's system, whereas 96 percent of America's non- government workers do. In addition, the U.S. system is progressive, meaning lower wage earners get back much more than they put in; in Mexico, workers get back only what they put in, plus accrued interest.

"I applaud the persistent efforts of TREA Senior Citizens League to try to get documents from the U.S. Government about the U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement," said Rep. Walter Jones (news, bio, voting record) (R-N.C.). "The American people are finally beginning to get some of the information regarding this Agreement that they have been seeking for so long."

According to the SSA, the Social Security Trust Fund will begin paying out more than it is taking in by 2017, and will be exhausted by the year 2040.

With 1.2 million members, TREA Senior Citizens League is one of the nation's largest nonpartisan seniors groups. Visit http://www.SeniorsLeague.org for more information or to see the Totalization Agreement documents.

Answer 2

The Republican betrayal began with the termination of Donald Rumsfeld AFTER the 2006 elections. Bush knew if he replaced Rummy earlier the elections, the Republicans might maximum probable hold their majority and consequently he does not be waiting to get his immigration reform with the aid of Congress. Then, after that fiasco, Bush implanted Martinez into the RNC management with the intention to cement the Republican celebration's woes. as a results of Bush's conceitedness, he now stands a greater efficient probability of pleasing his legacy, different than that Pelosi refuses to introduce immigration law in the homestead except Bush can assure 70 Republican votes. Now the place in the Republican abyss in the home is Bush going to discover 70 Republicans? He have been given maximum of 'em booted in 2006! sounds like he would have jumped the gun. it could be large to make certain it come back to chew him in the as# !!!

Answer 3

It is not only the agreement that was finally brought to light due to a law suit against the government. That is also in the Senate Bill amnesty provisions, so you know.

Answer 4

Both parties need to be voted out, as they are both guilty. It was expected from the Democrats, that's their M/O. Republicans have failed us as well. This is globalist regionalization, and threatens our nationhood. These benefits can, and must be cut off.
Social security needs to be flushed down the toilet. An ever-centralizing "bipartisan" US gov't can only make it worse. As long as we vote for this 2 party system, we are clowns and deserve what we get.

Answer 5

yep and if the guest worker program goes through they want to give them gas cards to travel back and forth from mexico ( like they will leave) to do the jobs they say we wont do crazy eh

Answer 6

Next thing you know illegals will be calling our old people lazy and stupid because they didn't save enough money to avoid needing something that illegals are more entitled to. They are always talking crap about and stealing from the weakest members of our society. And yes our government right along with them.

Answer 7

That's freaking scary....nice to know that they take $400 a week out of my check for people that don't even belong in this country.

I am literally sick at my stomach.

Answer 8

Well I guess the pro-illegals don't need social security. There won't be any money left. And their illegal friends won't help them out either.

We cannot allow this to happen.

Answer 9

Why is this happening?

Answer 10

Cool, we are finally going to treat them like we treat ourselves. We are starting to integrate them into our society.

We need that.
