The US already has 20 such pacts with other countries ranging from Canada to South Korea. About 94-thousand foreign beneficiaries now receive an average of 162 dollars per month. This information is available to anyone who would look for it. The only Mexicans who would recieve payments are those who paid into the American system, just like all those workers from other countries.

Do your homework next time, and dont make this all seem like some Mexican plot. This country has paid foreign workers these benefits for decades.

Quote me to back up your accusation, Buttboy.
You do YOUR homework before making such insinuations.

There is absolutely NO need for 20 "pacts".

There should only be ONE policy regarding foreign nationals and Social Security.

If they're here illegally, they're ineligible, PERIOD.
If they're here legally, they should either...
- be eligible for benefits based on what they contributed. Or...
- be both exempt from SS taxation and ineligible for receipts.

Oh I agree. Mexican plot! HAhaha.

It's not like Mexico has dumped thousands, millions of their poor, uneducated, unskilled, on us. It's not like Mexico routinely brings in illegal drugs at an astronomical rate. It's not like Mexico is the worlds largest distributer of illegal drugs.

The Mexican government and it's people have nothing but respect for America, our laws, borders and our sovereignty.

Mexican plot! LOL! They are our best friends! A country we can look up to.

I will confess I don't know exactly what is being proposed and I, along with everyone else, don't know what the actual implementation will be.

But yes, it is a Mexican thing. Regardless of how many treaties, agreements, etc., with whatever country - this is another Mexican demand that PRes. Bush would like to meet. There is no way around that. His history is all we need.

Now I don't know what the existing law is, but for Mexicans to come here and work (possibly legal aliens) and return to Mexico to receive SS is nothing new. It has been going on for years.

This has to be something new and different or they would not be sending up the trial balloon. I suspect this is for illegal aliens - just judging from the attitude of our President and his friend in Mexico. I would think Fox doesn't think he is getting enough American dollars. WE doubled our foreign aid - we have taken in many, many more of his people to support, they are sending back to Mexico monies that equal 1/3 of their economy, and still it is not enough. He sees that Americans sill have something left in their pockets, and wants it.
