Illegals granted Social Security
« on: May 30, 2010, 12:54:07 AM »

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."

Which is why the stupid RNC should be running ads about things like this to let the American people know what's going on, but they won't.

Because the "stupid RNC" wants their votes too :(   If this has been going on for years and years, per McCain, then we know the right is part of the problem too.

It's why I tea party, vote 'em all out  :cheersmate:

Honestly when I saw the headline I figured it was a JOKE.  Well, I've sent this article to everyone I know, and, if as I suspect everyone else does as well, it won't be long before many people are paying attention.

That's also why they released the Bill Clinton/Sleestack story this weekend.

Sounds like it is time to send JD a check and a "Dear John" letter.

Dear John,

In remembrance of your vote and tone deaf quote on the recent Ensign Amendment:

Quote

"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."


A contribution has been sent to J D Hayworth.

Thank you for your past service, good luck in your upcoming retirement or Ambassadorship in Mexico.

Yep. The government, local, state and fed, talks about cracking down on employers who hire illegals, but they don't say a word about giving illegals welfare, education, health..all federally mandated.

Damn! just damn!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had Soros' money or Bill Gates, so I could pay for patriots to make a march on congress and throw these degenerate, un-American POS's out by the scruff of their necks! And kick 'em in the genitals as they fall down the steps of the capitol! Twice!

Every single congress critter that voted to give illegals our tax dollars needs to be tried for treason! If it is not treason to go against the oath of their office, Defend the Constitution, then someone want to explain to me what the hell it is???????????

Momma's don't let your babies go to Havard/Yale/Ivy league schools

Make'em drive tractors and trailers and such

Momma's don't let your babies grow up to be lawyers and such

They're always talking but not saying much

Make'em be loggers and .....................


You know, it's a shame when the supposedly best educated people in our country, the ones elected to high office, can't understand the simple word, "illegal".
