Thread: Social Security for illegals

"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 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.

"Totalization agreements are common — the U.S. has them with 20 countries.
And their goal is legitimate — to avoid double taxation when employers assign
their employees to work temporarily in another country. Totalization was not
designed or intended to cover millions of illegals sneaking past the U.S. Border
Patrol from what is a borderline Third World country."

Has our government gone completely insane?

Just another example of how Illegals are treating better than Legal US Citizens. And it will only get worse. The average Legal American Citizen is pissed on 24/7 by the Government, so I think it's time for a mutiny. Hell, I got my pitchfork and axe. I'll march. I'm not doing anything nowadays, anyway!!

Lining up and shooting the lawyers is a good start. Hell, it may not solve anything, but it sure as hell would be fun, and could only strengthen the gene pool.

Are you saying that just because we disagree on a statistic in another thread?
There are good lawyers, the ones defending the widow and the orphant against evil rich companies for examples. I'm joking of course, being good doesn't pay

No, K. Its an old thing in America. We have lawyer jokes, and have for years (like: is a lawyer in a tank with 5 man eating sharks unfair punishment? Yes, for the sharks), and I am hardly the first person to cry, "Hang the lawyers!"

I know it was a joke, I spent some time in the US. That was just my weak attempt at humor

Hey hey hey! What's all that with jerry lewis and France? I heard it so often, when in fact I don't know who he is and most of my friends too (well, think I saw him once in a Charly's Angel episod... is he a frail black guy with a strange face?). No, our prefered american jester right now is sitting in an oval office. He's really terrific, last time he came in Europe he was supposed to meet the prime minister of Spain (or Italy, don't remember) and when asked his name he was like "errrrrr". Then the journalist asked him several easy questions about Europe (like who is the president of Germany etc... something the diplomat in chief should know by heart) and he kept such a ridiculous look... like a monkey in front of a computer wondering what to do.
