Well medicare is still a form of welfare and it's still BS that they are on it.

Nice try. But Medicare is not Social Security and recent immigrants do not receive Social Security payments without making contributions.

How is medicare not a form of social security. Are they not both wealth transfers from the present generation to the retiring generation? Are they not required to be paid into through the career lifespan of the worker? The fact that someone new to the country can by pass the entire process of paying into the system and just receive benefits is BS. If you don't agree then you've got issues.
