Ensign Immigration Amendment
Immigrants can't get SS benefits until they meet legal requirements for employment.
Motion to Kill Ensign
Immigrants can't get Social Security benefits for payments made prior to being legally able to work.
Argument:
An illegal immigrant, in order to get work, sometimes fabricates or uses a stolen social security number.
McCain says that accordance with the bill, when the illegal is made legal, he is and should be forgiven for having 'stolen' the number and should be able to collect ALL of the money he paid into social security. That it would be 'unfair' not to. This is in the current Bill. What would normally be a felony (fabricated documents, stolen identity) ARE FORGIVEN.
Argument against showed evidence of American citizens whose lives have been destroyed because of identity theft and who, in some cases, ALL of their social security up to that point is 'wiped out' and they must start from scratch.
WHY ARE THESE SENATORS PANDERING, KISSING THE BUTTS OF THE ILLEGALS? AMNESTY IS BAD ENOUGH....THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
Vote on Motion to Kill Ensign
Looking for text of the current Senate Bill that was posted here earlier. Anyone have a link or the Post #. I really wish this site had a search feature that worked for more than just members and thread titles.

Thanks to MCCAIN, Ensign tabled. If my understanding is correct that means Illegals will still be forgiven for use of fake or stolen documentation and will be able to collect social security for the entire time they paid into it, even if it was paid on a stolen number.
(Since an illegal can't get a ss card, any money paid would have to have been paid on a fake or stolen number?)
