Now, excuse me, Mr. Samuelson, George W. Bush for six years has tried to do something about this, and he has been rebuked at every turn.

Now, excuse me, Mr. Limbaugh, perhaps you'd care to address one of the changes Duhbya tried to make in 2004 --the Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico.

Now, you may think that giving US Social Security benefits to 20+ million Mexican law-breakers is a good thing, but I, as well as many Americans vehemently disagree.

A Mexican illegal alien can apply for, and receive benefits after having worked (illegally) in the US for 6 quarters (18 months). US citizens (you and I) have to work 40 quarters (10 years) before we're eligible to apply.

But that's not the worst of it. Under the terms of Bush's agreement, the Mexican illegal alien can apply for, and receive benefits for his Mexican (national) wife and Mexican (national) children, even if the wife and children have never stepped foot in the USA.

So, not only does George W. Bush want US citizens to give US Social Security benefits to the Mexican law-breakers, he also wants US citizens to pay benefits to the Mexican law-breakers' family back home in Mexico.

So, in spite of your statements to the contrary, it looks like you're still a GOP water boy.

It was ever thus.

I'm tellin' ya, if this info about the payments to Mexican illegals ever got around to all the blue-hairs, it would shut down the amnesty talk in a heartbeat.

It's a subsidy program for Mexico, plain and simple. Why should we be paying exorbitant sums to those people?
