Some years ago there was a sign up on the wall at the main airport in Puerto Rico, directing people to the welfare office in Fitchburg, MA., complete with details on what freebees you'd get. But that was when Dukakis was gov. and handing out thousands of social security cards to illegals. Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that exactly what the feds are heading toward? Where did we go wrong???
"Some years ago there was a sign up on the wall at the main airport in Puerto Rico, directing people to the welfare office in Fitchburg, MA., complete with details on what freebees you'd get."
The details probably included a 'special' list of names of doctor's to see and the forms to take to sign up for all the extra financial assistance available if you can prove some sort of disability.
We have allowed the creation of the Organization of American States (similar to the European Union), ratified NAFTA and are about to ratify FTAA. This ratificaiton will put our Congress at the level of a state government among the socialist and communist countries of the Americas. It will bind us to international law, not our Constitution, and it will bind us to decisions made by the collective of socialist and communist countries of the Americas.
Because our government is participating in the giveaway of our sovereignty, it is a little thing to them to give social security to illegals. In fact, this policy was agreed upon at the Summit of the Americas conference in 1998. You can go there and see policy statements on illegals and social security and illegals and remittances.
At no time do the American people get consulted in any of this, nor Congress. We have a supranational body, the OAS that is actually exercising authority over us in the matter of illegal immigration, and not one of our elected officals is doing anything but agreeing with them.
If you don't believe in the OAS , here is the charter, ratified by our Congress. It is full of socialist speaks, never talks about individual rights,and controlls countries like the federal government controls our states.
