I disagree. Were it not for their illegal presence they would not have been working in this country. Denying them social security is a fitting penalty -- let their ill-gotten monies go to Americans who worked lawfully.

This is morally warped.

These people worked for and earned their money just like any legal citizen has.

The idea that we should declare EVERY SINGLE act in this country illegal because a person sneaked across the border is nothing more than spite.

I find this kind of vengengeful position perhaps more reprehensible than the simple act of sneaking across any border could ever be.

Just to be clear:

They never had any right to this money. They knew all along that they would not receive it.

Furthermore they would never have "paid into" social security had they not been here illegally.

You are entitled to your own opinion but frankly it is impossible to make a rational argument that there is anything "reprehensible" in preventing these criminals from benefiting from the criminal act of entering illegally.

this entire scam is bizarre---how will it be a proven FACT that they have paid into it ? proven the same way their 5 years of residency is ?

they worked and earned their money just like any legal citizen has ? ya know, i wish my entire family could do exactly like them--work tax free and collect welfare..we'd be rich.
