Gillibrand: Give Social Security to illegal immigrants
Washington Examiner ^ | 03-20-2019 | Joseph Simonson

Posted on 03/20/2019 9:33:48 AM PDT by Monrose72

Democratic presidential candidate Kirstin Gillibrand wants to expand Social Security to people living in the United States illegally. "First, we need comprehensive immigration reform," the 2020 hopeful and New York senator said during a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa. "If you are in this country now you must have the right to pay into Social Security, to pay your taxes, to pay into the local school system and to have a pathway to citizenship. That must happen." Gillibrand's comments are striking given her past as an immigration hawk. In 2009, the New York senator voted to increase funding for ICE and once said she believed English should be the official language of the United States.

As long as they are paying taxes but not receiving benefits everything will be fine. The instant they start receiving benefits there will be a giant sucking noise.

What part of “they are not supposed to be here” does she not understand?

I’d really like to see the face of a life long liberal when they don’t get their SS check — largely because of schemes like this. Regardless of the facts, I’m sure they’ll just blame Conservatives though.

Not fine at all. They(illegals) are depressing wages for all Americans doing those jobs. That is why Hispanics are IN FAVOR of the wall. The purpose of immigration is to suppress wages by increasing the labor supply. Don't think Americans don't know that.

She wants Social Security Disability so those who don’t want to work at all can fight their way to illegally cross the border too...

I have been paying in to Social Security since I was 14 years old, and have never taken a DIME in “social benefits”, with the exception of a few months of unemployment benefits.

HA HA. Same here. I rec'd unemployment benefits for 2 months when my corporate masters sold the division I worked for, and was let go. I registered my own S-corp, in the hopes of doing consulting work in the future, while I also looked for a new position. The State found out, informed me I couldn't be a corporate owner, and demanded my unemployment benefits back, with interest.

I am a tax-donkey for c**** like Gillibrand. My reply to progressives is simply F*** You! Their system has not served me in any way.

Why “must you” have those “rights”.

What, morally, does doing that say to the millions of LEGAL immigrants, and to persons who might be new LEGAL immigrants?

It says to the millions of LEGAL immigrants “screw you”. You were all fools, stupid fools, to do everything about coming here in accordance with the law, for the legal benefits that doing so would provide for you and your children, and your children’s future. You were stupid fools, because all you had to do was join the throngs of illegals and Gillibrand and her party would hand you those benefits to you, for nothing, anyway.

To possible future LEGAL immigrants it says “don’t be fools”, just come illegally, because Gilligrand and her party are prepared to give the nation away to folks who don’t give a dam about our immigration laws.

EVERY form “amnesty” is morally wrong, to the country, to the laws, and especially to the millions of LEGAL immigrants. The rights they have EARNED are to be given away for nothing.

This is how you farm voters for a popularity only election.

It's probably a "They maybe dumbasses, but they're "our" dumbasses" at best, and a straight party vote at worst.

Or, maybe it's really the poll workers drilling the dem chads out of a stack of ballots?

the Democratic Party has reached bottom,again.

In the past, I’ve thought the democrats had finally reached the lowest level possible, only to witness their ability to tunnel further under reality and establish a new low.

Now they are at a point where they have to offer blood and money to get votes. With public opinion turning against them and the media, they are desperate for any support they can get.

Illegal immigration, felon voting rights, lower voting age, blocking voter fraud,etc.

They can not rely Americans who have the right to vote. So now they are going around us and don’t mind stepping on the Constitution to get there. It’s really nothing new, just a new low.

The Democratic party is a dictatorship waiting for enough power to enforce their will.

Looks at this Democrat woman openly giving our country and our wealth to people who do not have any right to be here whatsoever.

Why the Hell are tolerating this for even 1 second?

Those with no consistent guiding principles will “turn on a dime”. The Dem Party is rotten through and through.

“As long as they are paying taxes but not receiving benefits everything will be fine. The instant they start receiving benefits there will be a giant sucking noise.”

Illegal aliens are a MASSIVE net drain on taxpayers. Overwhelming hospitals, schools, social services, etc. Worse, they vote 80-20 for democrats.

The demonrats are in open rebellion, on the march, and completely lawless. If something is not done very quickly, they’re going to take permanent control of this sinking ship and then declare, ‘everything is now normalized, comrades’

WOW, I guess this is a competition on who can propose the most idiotic thoughtless proposals and spending items.

“Why the Hell are tolerating this for even 1 second?”

She’s ringing the dinner triangle for more illegals to stampede the border.

The real question...is PDJT under the gun of the corrupt state? Why is the border wide open? Why is he not using his plenary authority over national security to secure the border?

I was hoping he’d give us some kind of sign if he was under duress...

They are so desperate to scape up every possible vote to beat Trump that they have thrown away all pretense of being Americans.
