U.S.- Mexico Pact Revealed: Billions to Non-Citizens.

The U.S.- Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement ...an agreement signed between the Bush administration and the Mexican government in 2004 that would funnel billions of U.S. Social Security funds to Mexican citizens. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has already warned that as a result of this agreement, the number of unauthorized Mexican workers and family members eligible for social benefits will likely increase. The Social Security Administration itself warns that Social Security is within decades of bankruptcy - yet they seem to have no problem making agreements that hasten its demise...

"Or is the stench of this batch of koolaid so noxious that even bushbots can't swallow?


I'm still waiting for an answer."

You won't get it. The moderates; fresh from the defeat that they spear-headed for the republican party are busy accusing "far-right extremists" and prattling about how conservatives elected Nancy Pelosi. Never mind that moderate republicans took a beating in that election. Bushbots never let facts get in the way of a good limp-wristed crying fit.

Poll after poll shows that Americans oppose illegal immigration. The democrats ran on the broken promise of "fixing immigration". Yet the bushbots don't get it. They are out in force with that tired old "vote for our northeastern liberals or else". You have to ask yourself: If these people don't believe that conservative values can win; then what are they doing in the republican party? How far left will they compromise until they are indistinguishable from democrats?

I believe there is an executive order putting this plan into effect, sitting on his desk awaiting his signature. What he signed before was a general agreement to get the process started.

[upchuck]

Pinging ALL BushBots to come over here and justify this action by your guy...

{{ crickets }}

Uh huh.

[BW2221]

The agreement was signed in 2004, but apparently has not yet been presented to Congress.

The telling fact is how this agreement was kept in such secrecy that the Freedom of Information Act had to be used to gain knowledge of it.

Bookmark for later read when my eyes are fully opened. Thank you.

[Cobra64]

Me too.

[rottndog]

I'm starting to think that many bushbots are part of a 5th column within the GOP.

[Mr. Mojo]

Since illegals tend to have brown skin and funny accents, libs will be all in favor of this.

And most importantly, they're in favor of it because the aliens in question vote Donkey after (and often before) they're granted amnesty.

Either the GOP establishment is in complete denial about this or they just don't give a damn that the vast majority of these tens of millions of new voters (many of whom are now accustomed to gov't handouts) will be voting 'Rat.

As stated earlier, how many of these countries have 12 - 20 million illegal aliens in the USA?

[Alter Kaker]

Congress gave the Social Security Administration the authority to conclude agreements with foreign social security providers. These agreements save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year by preventing dual taxation. Similar agreements have been concluded with 20 foreign nations. And yet nobody raises a peep until an agreement is signed with Mexico -- even though the result is less taxation and lower costs for American workers, and even though the costs with similar totalization agreements with other countries were much higher than the costs with Mexico are likely to be.

This is dime store slack-jawed demagoguery of the most demented order. There are a few people on this site whose brains shut off the moment they hear the word "Mexico." Are you one of them?

[bobby.223]

not to many 'bots out yet tonight are there? there won't be, even they can't justify this crap.

[gitmogrunt]

Those charged with enforcing laws from the Federal Level to the State, County and City Levels, have fooled/ failed/and screwed the American people.

Clouds of some sort of a tax or other from of rebellion loom in the horizon, at least in my mind, anyway.

[Alter Kaker]

As stated earlier, how many of these countries have 12 - 20 million illegal aliens in the USA?

Not one illegal alien will receive social security from the United States government, certainly not because of this totalization agreement. Find a new strawman.

[Last Laugh]

We need a Tax Revolt.

The Boston Tea Party was not easy for those that took part in it. But it sure was effective.

[cripplecreek]

Politicians remain in power even when they're out of power. If the get voted out of office they simply get cushy CEO positions with all the stock options and a nice golden parachute upon retirement. If they're really lucky a president can simply appoint them to a position of power.

[gitmogrunt]

correction post # 32...."from" should be "form".

[keepitreal]

How many workers US workers are in Mexico? How many Mexican workers are in the US? How does this even out?

[rottndog]

Why did it require a lawsuit to pry this info out of the Social Security Admin?

When people hide things they are being deceitful.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

George W. Bush is not the guy I thought he was.

But he sure is the guy that his establishment handlers want him to be.
