In fact, Social Security Administration actuaries point out that undocumented workers have just the opposite impact on the programís finances. They pump millions of dollars annually into Social Security trust funds without ever collecting a nickel in Social Security benefits.

(Please bear in mind that the actuaries are not saying illegal immigration is a good thing for the country. But they are saying it has a positive impact on the financial status of Social Security.)

I have never had to show ID at the hospital. Are you going to make the hospitals responsible for enforcing immigration laws?

We need to punish those who hire illegals. Put them in prison, not just some fines which in the end will be cheaper than paying Americans a living wage. Have the local police sit in the parking lots of Home Depot and Lowes and arrest the Mexicans who congregate looking for work and get paid under the table. Arrest those who are looking to hire them as well. Make sure no children are allowed in schools without an American birth certificate as well as providing their parents’ birth certificates. If they are not all born in America, the child doesn’t get into school. And the child doesn’t get to be president!

You and I both know no politicians are gonna advocate this and that it won’t happen. How many years has this been going on? What has changed?

What you are missing is once they are legalized(registered) they are entitled to those benefits and they are already broke. Previous Republican amnesty bills would have loaded millions of illegals onto SS and medicare after they are 65.

YES you should have to show an ID to get in a hospital or face an investigation to find out who you are. You are aware that someone gets stucking paying those hospital bills of illegals, right??? If it's free someone pays. I know it seems compassionate to ignore that fact, ala Bush 'compassionate conservatism' made believe no one pays for anything the government gave away.

You are fun to debate :) It's been a while.
