All part of “The Plan” O[phony]bama and his LIEberal posse are imposing on America to “Take us down a notch.”

Methinks (Mehopes??) the big pushback started on November 4th!

And that it will continue to grow in scope and intensity, leading to total and absolute destruction of the LIEberal ideology!

Will Obama’s Illegal Alien Amnesty Wreck Social Security and Medicare?

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On November 28, 2014 @ 12:26 pm In The Point

Social Security has been on a terrible financial footing for a while. The last thing thing it needed was a dose of Obamnesty. But that’s what it got anyway.

Illegal immigrants who apply for work permits in the U.S. under President Obama’s new executive actions will be eligible for Social Security and Medicare, the White House says.

Under the sweeping actions, immigrants who are spared deportation could obtain work permits and a Social Security number, which would allow them to pay into the Social Security system through payroll taxes.

No such “lawfully present” immigrant, however, would be immediately entitled to the benefits because like all Social Security and Medicare recipients they would have to work 10 years to become eligible for retirement payments and health care. To remain qualified, either Congress or future administrations would have to extend Obama’s actions so that those immigrants would still be considered lawfully present in the country...

Thus, illegal aliens who obtain legal work authorization, either by qualifying for a work visa or by dispensation granted by Congress or the immigration authorities, and who then obtain a valid Social Security number, can claim the EITC for previous years worked without a Social Security number as long as such claims are not barred by a statute of limitations, generally within three years.

As we’ve seen “worked” should be in quotation marks because the only people working in this scheme are the American taxpayers who will be cheated of their retirement by Obama’s latest wealth transfer welfare program dressed up as amnesty.

The rest of the history

Thanks — this is a great read and certainly reinforces the conclusions many thoughtful Americans have drawn.

HST, even a rabbit will fight if forced into a corner.

At some point, the poor suffering American taxpayer is going to wake up and stop the insanity!
