I am so sick and tired of mixed signals about illegals I have had it...I can't hire them, but the government can...the government says the SS is broke, and they want to give it to illegals! They prevent illegals from working (they do work very, very hard, I will give them that for sure) and yet, force them into underground where no taxes or SS is collected! WE have a very broken system going on here, and it must be fixed immediately....or come to an arrangement with Mexico to divide it into about 10 states and go from there. I have no answers, but I haven't heard any logical ones from anyone yet! For years, we have allowed illegals to work jobs that are not filled by our citizens. Our citizens, many at any rate, do not want to work, but want a salary (I own a company, and trust me, I know what I am talkign about ...and I don't even want to hear about how much I pay...regardless of the pay, most I have hired feel entitled to take "sick days" when they are not sick, sit on a computer and play on the clock..hell, I see people on YA! bragging about all the points they are getting on YA! while being paid to work! The system is broken into pieces. Work ethic in many US citizens is at an all time low, and we know it, so don't even start to rant at me. I am doing enough ranting for all of us. Peace and love, Phil

And they keep saying the Baby Boomers are going to rob the SS.dry. The government has been robbing the SS. Fund for years, but have neglected to pay it back. Guess they have to have someone to blame, besides themselves. But wait it's our money we put into it, we deserve it back!!!
Illegals have been running scared since the fires in CA. It was in the paper today, that they were checking ID of all those at the Football stadium, to prevent fraud from people trying to get free, food, clothes and other services other than those we were actually driven out of their homes by the fire. And of course Illegals did not have any ID's so they could not get any of the services that were being offered. About 100 Illegal's turned themselves in to the Border Patrol, as they were scared by the fire.
If they can find a way to give SS to Illegals they will, they dole on every other Government benefit. around. But if you have worked hard all your life, and are a citizen, and need a little help to tide you over if you are having bad times. They will not even look at you. You can't get food stamps, housing, medical, financial aid or anything else. But if you just jumped off the Boat, or walked across the Border, they are practically looking for you to give you something. anything. The rest of us
they just say Sre- You, exhaust any and all money, possesions, property you may have no matter how little, and then maybe we will talk to you. They want you to be out on the streets before anybody would give a Dam.
Ok, I will get off my soap box now, but every word is true!!!!!

I believe the reason we have had so few amendments to the Constitution is that it was so wonderfully inspired. I am sure that there are some things that need to be overhauled, but enforcing the laws that are in place would be a good place to start. I am still disturbed over the fact that many of the terrorists of the 9/11 tragedy were here illegally. I don't have an answer, but I'm not running for office. I feel more upset over the big businesses that know their employees are illegal aliens, but they also know they are not likely to suffer any great consequence if for some reason the employee is caught by the INS.

Ever since Bush et al came into power, some of his major
aims has been to negate every thing that Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted.
thus Social Security must be
bankrupted ASAP (and its getting there fast because
you may not know that this
Admin has pulled out vast
amts of money from SS fund
and replaced it with IOUs).
He wants NO govt. "entitlements", which means
no Medicare/No public health
insurance/No federal oversight of corporations.
No government BY THE PEOPLE.
there are only 3 things this
President is interested in:
Power/Oil and War.
Iran's is next on the list.soon
Unless Americans start
screaming. (But then he has
Homeland Security, doesn't he?)

Michael P- you've missed the whole point.
The founding father's created laws that established the face "America". Those coming later are the "immigrants" (a foreign person who comes to live permanently in the US). They are seeking a new life, to learn the country's language, laws and to contribute and profit from our economy.(earned money now being sent home) They were willing to stay for days at Ellis Island being screened for crime and quarantine to get admission. (Do the illegal aliens know beforehand they wouldn't make the cut)
Even their piers who've taken the legal route to citizenship resent those who haven't.
I'll accept a job standing outside the courthouses with Welcome Wagon baskets, an invitation into my home and a big hug to those who've said the oath and "been granted" legal citizenship legally. I WANT THEM TO COME TO AMERICA! It's the best country in the world!
I could go on for hours about this because the conclusion is so clear to me. If I'm missing relevant information from the other point of view please tell me.
Blessings- Really!, Juju

Your information is incorrect. Social Security benefits are NOT paid to people who are here illegally - nor will they be.
Unless you can provide a source for what you have stated, it's just yada-yada-yada race baiting.
And, what would you have done with all of those people working in the fields during the fires? Just let them burn?
If you are indeed a senior citizen on this forum, you haven't learned much in your lifetime, have you?

We are already giving Social Security to 18 year olds on drugs or alcohol, which shouldn't be allowed, we are only receiving one quarter of the money we put into the system and now they want to give my tax dollars that I worked for for 50 years to some idiot who cannot even speak English. To hell with that and the horse that moron in the White House rode in on.

I say BS to that!!! The money we've put into SS should be in our own accounts. Goldwing has summed it up pretty well and Wally is mad as hell---it's rough out there. This has been going on for a LONG time---when & how will it ever end??

It is criminal behavior by our elected idiots. We trusted them and they in turn stab us in the back. Social Security has always been for us USA legal citizens, not to be issued to an illegal voting block. It is being done to get illegals to vote for them. These criminal politicians are losing there voting block and are resorting to selling the farm out to bring in voters.
These politicans should be arrested for treason.
