You said:
Right now, an estimated 10 million Illegals pay into SS, but don't collect. The government (both Democrats and Republicans) need the Illegals to help keep the SS system afloat. Its just a matter of time before some Federal Judge changes that.


I'd like to know where that statistic came from. I seriously doubt it. There is no way to tell how many (or how few) illegals pay into SS. It is purely a guess.

And MY guess is these illegals are smarter than that. They DO NOT PAY INTO SS. They work the jobs which don't deduct SS. Nobody will say this -- because that would SHOW BEYOND ANY DOUBT that the EMPLOYERS are to blame, for paying these illegals directly.

The real problem is that these illegals are being hired. They should not be hired by ANYBODY to do ANYTHING.

No one is addressing this. It is like we want to have it both ways. We want cheap labor -- which just encourages the illegals to enter our country. Then we gripe about them entering the country.

And in most cases, it is the same people doing both!

I heard it on the news the other day - perhaps FOX. There are approximately 10 million SS numbers that don't match up. Employers collect the money, and turn it over to the Government, but it doesn't match any SS numbers on record.

I don't want the cheap labor. I don't see the benefits of the cheap labor. The cheap labor lines the pockets of the employers and the cheap labor is subsidized by us taxpayers in the form of educational, medical and social benefits.

But how do we go after the employers when our own government won't do anything about it?
