Fatima Kolic, 74, has lived in the U.S. for more than seven years. She said her federal retirement payments have been cut off because she has not become a citizen.

I think I will apply to become an illegal or a guest citizen so I can get a federal check. Why should someone who never worked a day in their life here get a check?

Funny how they learn our system pretty quick when they get here. Our generosity is our defeat.

Me too. I actually looked into it to see how hard it would be. By my half witted research, I can't degenerate my status to illegal immigrant without being granted citizenship in another country and changing my name and identity. It might be worth it, however and I would probibly pursue it if I lost my job and needed to support my family.

Wow! I'm moving to the U.S. asap! Who wouldn't want a federal retirement paycheque?

Are they for real?! When did America become a welfare state subsidising foreign nationals who haven't spent a single day working in the U.S.?
