There is a little bit of "the sky is falling" on this thread. Sure, such a decision (to pay Mexicans SS) would be an abomination. SS should be converted to individual savings accounts--for American citizens. But this bill will have to pass congress and we can Freep the day lights out of them--enough to scare them off. I personally pledge to write every member of congress a snail mail letter if this comes up. Who will follow me? 50,000 snail mail letters to each member of Congress would make a noise heard across this nation. They know there are a 100 people who agree with every letter they receive.

I'd feel better if I didn't think that this might be accomplished in the courts (look at what the treasonous Supremes have been saying about considering international law in their decisions) or just done by fiat by the executive branch. Do you know for sure that a law would have to be passed allowing this?

How do you propose to "scare" them? Are you going to threaten to not vote for them? What happens when the rest of the FR crowd starts shouting, "But the Democrat will win!", at election time?

How many Republicans do you think lose any sleep over such a threat from conservatives?

If JUST a million Mexicans were paided $500 dollars a month each (half of a what a average ammount is) it will cost US taxpayers $6,000,000,000 billion dollars a year.

And that is just a low-ball figure, if 5 million Mexicans were paid $1000 a month each, it will cost us taxpayers $60,000,000 billion a year.

We cannot afford that and since the politicans and their useful idiots don't care, this country is heading straight into an armed revolution.

You best forget the snail mail, because of antrax they are not delivered. They don't read emails. The only thing they do listen to is a face to face or a phone call.

I got this info from a friend of Senators secretary. She said voters rarely call about issues and we need to.
