Absolutely true. And when you factor in SSI payments for "adopted" minors & "disabled" extended family members, the actual SS payment to the Illegal worker will look small in comparison.
Plus, the very idea behind these Totalization agreements is so the worker can return home and receive his various payments, in this case while living in Mexico!
Bush spent the last year telling us Social Security will go broke and action must be taken now, so why is he wanting to flood the rolls with new Amnesty-Legal SS recipients getting their ill-gotten gains reclassified as wages qualifying for SS earnings?
What bothers me is that I still have not figured him out. He acts like he is either Damien Thorn or Napolean Dynamite. I just don't get it.
