Cue the spooky msuic ping?

Under totalization, Mexican workers could qualify for U.S. Social Security benefits with as few as six quarters of work, rather than the 40 quarters normally required of U.S. citizens.

This means 18 months of work for illegal alien versus 10 years for US citizen or legal resident.

Thanks for the great post.

Virgil Goode has a better voting record than 98% of the Republicans in the House of Representatives.

You can trust Virgil Goode to do "the right thing."

Illegal immigrants bankrupting social security ping!

[wolfcreek]

While NAFTA has brought some good to Mexico, such as better healthcare and some new jobs, the end-product has been a population explosion and an over abundance of working age people, far beyond the necessary workers needed. US corp. farming and manufacturing methods in Mexico have further decreased the need for workers. These practices would partially explain the greater influx of illegal immigrants into the US. The end-product in the US, with the addition of millions more people, is just beginning to raise it's ugly head. Maybe this freetrade thing needs to be better thought out.
