"We all know that millions of undocumented immigrants pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for years and sometimes decades while they work to contribute to our economy," said Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican. "The Ensign amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming Social Security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work in our community,"

I don't think anyone is arguing against lawfully present workers. If I rob a bank and invest the money in T-Bills, should I be able to collect the proceeds?

Using the logic smeared over the current travesty, one could just as easily argue that bank robbers, muggers, and embezzlers "help the economy" as they "save, invest, and spend the money they acquired by means that some might consider 'illegal'; thus, we must accept their contribution to our society, and embrace them as members of the extended American family."

I hope I typed that reasonably legibly, I'm kinda collapsing here. Gotta go...
