If the Totalization agreement between the US and Mexico is ratified, it dramatically increases the costs to Social Security. "Totalization" and "Guest Worker plan" is the double whammy that few are talking about.

You think the current immigration amnesty will not increase the costs of SS? If you have one working guy who comes over and gets to bring all his family...wife, 2 kids, mom, dad, aunts, uncle..... and they are all legal the mom, dad, aunt, uncle will be eligible for social security. They don't have to have ever made a dime in this country. They sign them up under the social security disability program which is SSI/SSP which is essentially a welfare program run by social security.

That is why I do not believe the conspiracy that politicians want all the illegals to shore up SS. It will be a huge sucking sound. Add totalization with Mexico on top of that and you can kiss SS goodbye.
