Under President Obama’s new program to protect millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, many of those affected will be eligible to receive Social Security, Medicare and a wide array of other federal benefits, a White House official said Tuesday.
In his speech Thursday night, the president touted his plan as a means of bringing accountability to a broken immigration system, under which 11 million or more people are estimated to be living in this country illegally.
“We’re going to offer the following deal: If you’ve with been in America more than five years. If you have children who are American citizens or [legal] residents. If you register, pass a criminal background check and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes, you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily without fear of deportation,” he said. “You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”
For those who work, that includes payroll taxes, also known as FICA taxes, because they are collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act.
The tax payments are usually split between employer and employee and include 12.4 percent collected to pay for Social Security, as well as 2.9 percent to pay for Medicare.

You lying, pathetic, leftist propagandist press corps. Tell the whole story, just once, please. The American people deserve to know. Don’t you care anything about your children’s future, or your own personal integrity? ILLEGALS have been accessing and ripping off all these federal entitlement programs for years! Illegals can’t get food stamps? Utter BS! Our government advertises these handouts in Mexico! Illegals can’t get obamacare? Total BS! How can you even print those words knowing the truth is easily accessible by every single American with an internet connection? You’re lying, you know you’re lying, we know you’re lying. Anyone who cares to do the most simple, basic, internet search can find the honest facts about these entitlement sucking illegal alien handouts and fraud. Like the $6 billion in fraudulent and illegal payouts to illegal aliens through the earned income tax credit, that once confronted the IRS boldly proclaimed- “nope, sorry, can’t fix that”. EVERY, SINGLE, taxpayer funded entitlement handout EVER offered by any government agency, has been illegally ripped off by the illegal foreigners FOREVER, and all with a wink and a nod from the progressive dominated bureaucracies who know full well their actions are illegal. All Obama’s order does is serve to swell the ranks of illegals who are willing to access these programs. Specifically those that chose not to in the past because of the perceived risk in doing so. To conclude, I notice you chose not to include the number from the most recent study about what these illegals will cost taxpayers. Which is odd since you love and champion any study, no matter how absurd or convoluted, when it helps the leftist meme. So here it is- $2 TRILLION!!! $2 trillion of hard working Americans tax dollars to pay off an support Obama’s illegal alien invaders. While our own citizens Medicare, social security, unemployment, and other benefits get cut. That’s not just unconstitutional. It’s criminal. It’s treasonous.
Excuse the spelling but; Clowerd/Pivon.
It's not hard, except we are dealing with the gutless old party. I don't know if they will grow a pair. We can always hope for the best, but they have priors.
If this is true, then that automatically kicks it into hearings by Congress required by law.
How can the republicans not know this?
I lived in Mexico for almost 10 years in the late 80’s - 90’s. They had no issues deporting hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans, Cubans, Haitians, Dominicans, hell...even Africans who stuck out like a sore thumb over there.
No issues whatsoever. Nobody down there (even the illegals) claimed “racism”. It CAN be done here...does the American public have the will to do it. Probably not...Americans are gutless sloths who could give a d@mn about their nation.
This nation was toast decades ago with the influx of millions of 3rd worlders who are totally incompatible with civilized society. Bush & Obama just iced the cake.
I am just cynical enough to think that the influx of third worlders, was a deliberate attempt by the leftists, to make this country toast. It was planned from day one. Now, is that cynical or what?
They won’t pay a dime.
The announcement that the Liar-in-Chief made was on the Spanish TV stations. It was meant to spread the word. He is flooding the boarders, deliberately. The signature of the community organizers is to create as much crisis, strife and chaos. Pitting one group against another. Everything is planned by these idiots.
That’s the plan.
If you thought otherwise you are ignorant, stupid or both.
They have been getting WIC among other bennies for years.....
Well then thank God that the gop majority in congress will step up and stop it....
BWAHAHAHAHA...
I make myself laugh....(snort)
“I am just cynical enough to think that the influx of third worlders, was a deliberate attempt by the leftists, to make this country toast. It was planned from day one. Now, is that cynical or what?”
I’m about as cynical as you are when it comes to this topic. It is deliberate IMO.
Legalizing 5 million people is just another good way to collapse the system. Remember Barky only has 2 more years to destroy the country.
” pass a criminal background check”
Which will be waived when the system gets overwhelmed with requests.
I think you’re right; there is little incentive for the illegals to become taxable entities (since they get the freebies regardless). I also doubt those working have employers that are going to rush to make matching Social Security payments, provide workers compensation insurance, etc.
“If you are here illegally, you are a criminal and are committing a crime. You should be dealt with, WHY DO WE LET THIS GO ON?!”
I hear you and I totally agree with you but the wetbacks
are only half the problem. The people who employ them is
the other half and not the better. I think that people who
hire the wetbacks should do mandatory 10 years in the pen
and everything they own confiscated as ill gotten gains.
The criminal employers need to pay.
There's no money because Obama pours it down Islamic sh*t holes who hate us.
The average American hasn’t a CLUE how much of our tax money Obama has sent down Muslim sh*t holes while he plans to slash the military, CUTS MEDICARE and threatens to withhold senior’s social security checks!
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD! Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
