Uhhhhhh....I thought Socialist Security didn't need fixing.
Pay attention, I think we're finally getting to hear Hillarys stance on the issue since she's too cowardly to say anything herself.
THIS is why you never vote for a democrat.
This seems to run against Hillary's "get tough" musings. Of course, the Clintons are the masters of playing both sides of an issue.
Or a republican!

DREAM Act (Student Adjustment Act)
Re-Introduction Request Letter
Each year 65,000 promising high school students are denied access to higher education. Without legal status, doors to higher education, the workforce, and, ultimately, a full, productive future are closed to these students, even though they have lived most of their lives in the United States. The DREAM Act (Student Adjustment Act) can help these displaced students - who are without documentation - contribute to the national economy and society by providing a path to citizenship.
This is a plea for you to act by urging President Bush's support and by asking Congress to re-introduce this legislation and championing its passage in this session.
Where is Teddy Roosevelt when you need someone with some moxie?
Clinton is exactly right. Illegal immigrants contribute FAR more than they take away from our economy. Study after study have proved this. (despite what some might say on here) Illegal immigrants come here to work, not to get fat off government largness, we have plenty of our own citizens to do that.
Immigration WILL fix our SS problem. However, if we phase out SS we can get the benefit from not having it AND get even more benfit from immigration without it being sucked up by the bloated wasteful and socialistic social security.
I haven't read the comments on here, but I'm guessing there will be a lot of knee jerk anti clinton anti immigration hysteria.
Just remember it was Ronald Reagan who said:
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.
Think Bubba forgot that just a few months ago the Bush Administration gave immigrants access to the social security benefits further drowning an already drowned system.
Demo Rat Klinton wants more people dependent on the government, natural constituents of socialism. The Socialist Security system should be terminated, not "reformed". I'll take a refund of my "investment" now, and let the government off the hook.
I was listening to a talk radio show the other day and someone said that Brazil requires anyone seeking to enter the country to live and work have the equivelent of 10k on them upon entering. Which, it was said, is equal to the averages persons wages for 2 years. If true, sounds like a good policy to me.
But on Bill Clintons opinion. How could I have been so stupid. Of course! Let more peope in. The man's a friggin genius you know. Just think how lucky we will be when he is the "First Gentleman" in '08. It will be like ......like a two for the price of one deal.
**Please don't kill me. This IS sarcasm**
The policy toward legal immigration is just fine, it's the illegal immigration that is the problem.
MSM perpetually attempts to legitimize the illegals by lumping all immigrants together which is insulting to those who are following the legal process.
"I haven't read the comments on here, but I'm guessing there will be a lot of knee jerk anti clinton anti immigration hysteria."
As opposed to knee-jerk cheap labor lobby rationalizations and agitprop, like about social security?
No independent study shows that illegal immigration is a net gain for America, it's a net loss.
