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.

Next from Gillibrand: giving them the vote.

Why does she even bother with the strategy of giving illegals the benefits of citizenship on a piecemeal basis - voting rights, Social Security, etc? The Democrats should just come out and admit that their goal is to give automatic citizenship with all of its perks to any and all who come here, legally or not. If this isn’t in their official platform yet, it ought to be.
I’m a legal immigrant. I first arrived as a teenager with my parents. My dad had attained a job here. I was not allowed to work. I had to wait two years before receiving “permanent resident alien” status, which enabled me to get a job. I paid into Social Security with each paycheck KNOWING, as a non-citizen, I could never receive from it at retirement. I’ve since become a citizen.
Why should an ILLEGAL immigrant get anything more? It’s an insult to every single legal immigrant and citizen.
Why blame her,she is just one dumb human being.NY voted for her and she is their voice.
One more time: theyre not illegal immigrants, theyre illegal aliens.
THIS is the "quality" of the dummocrap candidates. It is appalling, it is sub-basement, it is shocking. The sheer stupidity of the ideas these dummocraps have been promulgating lately should drive any person of even average intelligence running to the Repubs, but there are two reasons why this might not be in the bag: the libtards have been indoctrinating our kids for decades in the classroom, training them to be knee-jerk libtards themselves, and the Repubs are all too often just RINOS who have the same sicko values as the dummocraps.
Big hint: consider Gillibrand to be a piece of nattering slime from a pig's backside and you come close to accurately describing her candidate quality.
I wish I could answer that.
My guess is because he knows that he doesn’t actually have the support of anyone in Washington, and they are all waiting for the right moment to toss him out.
As far as I am concerned, this is a crisis serious enough to warrant defending the entire border with very lethal force.
“As far as I am concerned, this is a crisis serious enough to warrant defending the entire border with very lethal force.”
I agree. The numbers coming in are staggering. Forget a million a year, we maybe getting that in a few months or so.
And what kind of message is that sending to our enemies? It’s bad. Really bad.

“comprehensive immigration reform”
Where have we heard that from before.....The GOP-e.
To draw more of them.
Since when is paying taxes a *right*???
The idiot doesn't have a clue what paying taxes and paying into SS is about.
It's not a right. It's an obligation under threat of force from the US government.
And the illegals are NOT going to want to do it.
But we can’t ask on a census, who is here illegally.
I thought social security was going bankrupt.
Our Senior Citizens and hard working Americans who have been told it’s going away should love this.
This slut would do anything for a vote. What a maggot.
Every one of these bizarre Dem proposals will wind up in a Trump attack advert in fall of 2020. Going to be super effective.
Maybe I’m just naive, but how do you pay into Social Security without your own social security number? If you are committing fraud and using another persons number, and paying in to that, no mercy.
Why don’t we try this say with the UK? I will just sneak in, over stay my passport, and then demand social assistance for when I am ready to retire.
Gillibrand is glaring and blaring evidence that giving women the right to vote was a bad idea.
