We have such agreements with other contries.
This would seem to only affect LEGAL immigrants.
The illegals do not collect unless they file for green cards under the current hardship visa program AND can prove their back contributions.
This article is just hysteria based.
Is this some sort of political spin via the democrats?

You are totally WRONG. You posts shows that you have not read anything or done any research into this matter and you are actually misleading others that are too lazy to do any research.
Go here and read the second paragraph of the GAO report or the Government Accounting Office report. You might even think about reading the whole thing as it is a report from both the Social Security Administration and the Government Accounting Office giving the pros and cons of the Totalization Agreement with Mexico.
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d03993.pdf No, they don't call them illegals in this report, they call them "unaurthorized" workers.
Jo Anne Barnhart, the Social Security Administrator appointed by Bush, signed this agreement with Mexico only 2 days after looking into the Mexican Social Security system. The GAO kindly takes her to task for this and other costly items such as the fact that no one knows just how many unaurthorized workers and their dependents will be collecting this money.
