What home? Shortly before I became too ill to work and had to sell my home, a man who brings in "migrant workers" bought the place across the street and moved in 12 in a 2 bdrm single wide. The property (2 acres and was beautiful!) was destroyed in a month with goats, fighting game chickens and blasting "music". They couldn't stay on the acreage, but had to congregate and play basketball in the street. I took a $50,000.00 loss. Another neighbor sold a $350,000 home for $195,000.
I keep asking the question, "If you want to be here, why are you turning it into what you left??"
This is from the press announcement of the President's new plan:Economic Incentives to Return Home: The U.S. will work with other countries to allow aliens working in the U.S. to receive credit in their nations' retirement systems and will support the creation of tax-preferred savings accounts they can collect when they return to their native countries.
Now, that's real "compassionate", but God help you if you ever have to file for Social Security Disability when you've paid into it for 35 years........IF you are ill for 5 years after quiting work and haven't gotten it, it is gone forever, no matter how long you paid in. (see www.ssa.gov - eligibility) Give me the "guest worker" savings plan, thank you.
