Is anyone other than me predicting violent revolution, if this becomes law?
It will be interesting to see how many of these secretive type documents GW signs in his final midnight hours of his last day in the Oval Office.

King Five years into the war on terror, most Americans desperately hoped 2006 would be "the year" for solutions to the long national nightmare of intentionally unsecured borders and the resulting illegal immigration crisis. For many, the dream was that at a minimum, we would begin to see border security and immigration law enforcement similar to what Mexicans still living in Mexico enjoy. It didn't happen. According to a report released in late 2006 by the House Committee of Homeland Security, up to 10 million people entered the United States illegally and un-inspected last year. Georgia watched as its population of... |

Once again our government advances the interests of non-citizens (lawbreakers all) at the expense of its own people. Who, then, is representing our interests?
Before anyone posts something about us having similar agreements with several other countries, let me point out that none of those agreements are with Third World countries with economies like Mexico. This is a thorough and deliberate screwing of Americans who have paid in to Social Security for their entire working lives. Next we will be told we are "selfish" for not wanting to provide 75 million Mexicans with SS benefits. I suspect the signing of this agreement will be Bush's final act in office. I think we should ask every single presidential hopeful, however deluded, what they think about this proposed treaty.
I, too, find little green men in saucers more plausible than seeing any SS benefits when I retire.
I hope no one is insane enough to think SS will help in their golden years.
And because I was fortunate enough in the 60's and 70's to be a stay at home Mom I'm now paying the penalty for that. I can't collect my own SS as I don't have enough credit hours so depend on 1/2 of my husbands SS earnings. And yet if I were an illegal......working in USA for as little as 18 months I could collect SS. Something wrong with this picture and yet today it doesn't surprise me in the least. Thanks to our own government this is today's America...............
Why do American citizens have to have 40 quarters and they only have to have a short time?
Prediction: the underestimation will be greater than 25%. The Feds will shift the burden to legal taxpayers (regardless of citizenship) through increased taxes and reduced Social Security benefits.
Social Security benefits can be reduced in a number of ways (direct cuts, fuzzy math to keep annual COLAs less than the real rate of inflation, printing more money, etc.) and increasing both FICA and other taxes (like income taxes). The Feds may also reallocate funding from other government services (education, defense, etc.) to social spending. The Feds may increase borrowing.
Add in a nationalized health care plan, and this could be a recipe for disaster.
It's like a game of musical chairs, except you don't want to be the one without a chair (i.e., left to pay the bill) at the end of the day.
This is the second article I've read about this, but I still haven't learned HOW ILLEGAL ALIENS CAN PROVE ANY MONTHS OF PAYING SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES!!! So, how can they claim benefits? If this is about those with green cards, it's bad enough, but not quite the absurdity that's presented.
This is so wrong.
This whole thing is amazing. I've paid SS every year since I was 18. I'm eligable for reduced benefits a year from August at 62, so I'm signing up, getting what I can, and assuming that the social security scam will come crashing down at any time. No big disappointment, because I never planned to retire until I die anyway. I'm just PO'd about the money that they stole from me for my entire life.
I won't revolt, but I live in the woods and have guns. I like to think that if it gets bad enough, I will make a stand and take a few of the fish droppings (bass turds) with me.
Ever wonder if Algore would have sold us out like this?
Message from Mexico: THANK YOU GRINGOS - ALL YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY ARE BELONG TO US NOW.
I suggest Americans learn how to adapt to the Mexican style Social Security System: It involves getting a bowl when you turn 65 and an assigned corner on a busy street. Panhandle well - your retirement may depend on it.
This is breathtaking. I've been suspect of all those Jerome Corsi articles about a North American Union, but this is a smoking gun that indicates he may be right.
It's bad enough my contributions are entirely earmarked for the Baby Boomers. It's offensive and damn-near tyrannical to take my hard-earned money and give it to illegal aliens ahead of citizens. And I've been very VERY lenient in my views toward illegal aliens. I've always held the position that it's wrong to deport and separate families because one or both of the parents are illegals. But this is a whole different ballgame. This time, it's not the illegal alien gaming the system, it's the government gaming it's own system at our expense. I'm almost too offended to be outraged, only stupefied in silence.
Trust no one in Washington. We truly have no goverment by the people - only judges, elitest pols, and the MSM.
