Those who think S.S. is simply a pension program should realize that it includes such things as disability - a common occupational hazard of illegal workers; and, it also includes (in the event of a worker's death) guaranteed monthly survivor benefits to all children until majority age. It's typical that it took a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act to extract this shameful truth from the administration. Another bonanza for illegals at the expense of American citizens and tax payers!

Just one more way El Jefe Bush is selling out our country.

[Alter Kaker]

Holy hysteria, batman!

I'll wager a pretty penny that you haven't actually read the totalization agreement and neither (clearly) has the author of this idiotic polemic.

[Tzimisce]

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

So pay those taxes they're raising and smile while you're doing it.

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

[keepitreal]

"For example, say TREA officials, a worker who turns 62 after 1990 generally needs 40 calendar quarters of coverage to receive retirement benefits. Under Totalization Agreements, workers are allowed to combine earnings from both countries in order to qualify for benefits.


The agreement with Mexico, like other Totalization Agreements, would allow workers to qualify with just six quarters, or 18 months, of U.S. coverage. "

----

And the Mexican government dummies up the other 34 quarters, thus not having to support its citizens in their old age. Brilliant plan.

Hot topic, huh?

[upchuck]

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

{{ crickets }}

Uh huh.

[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.

[eleni121]

A perfect opportunity to do away with anachronistic obsolete govt. imposed larceny!

[Founding Father]

The actual agreement:

[Not now, Not ever!]

12 - 20 million illegal aliens

Who, if they have been paying into Social Security for one day "ARE FEDERAL FELONS!" (Identity theft) Why is nothing being said or done about that?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

The Totalization Agreement could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund. Read More>>

I found the above at
http://www.tscl.org/
It wouldn't load at all with firefox.....I opened an IE browser, and it loaded 10 pdf sheets, each with 4 images of text pages which are readable if enlarged to 200%.....it appears to be the "agreement", but I haven't read it yet.....sorry, I don't know why it says 6MB pdf file

might be best to save this in case it disappears......I have no clue as to how to post it, or I would.....

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

[Dallas59]

So....what can be done about it?. Everybody can throw tomatoes at each other all day long. What can be done about it?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Gak. Plan should pay out no more to Mexicans who have no business being here, than Mexico itself has paid in. Which is zilch.
