It's granting legal Mexican workers the right to collect their social security benefits because they have paid into the system.

They shouldn't collect, they shouldn't pay. They aren't citizens.

But they have paid. As have many other workers from other countries. The problem is that Mexico doesn have the treaty to allow them to collect their benefits, whereas other countries do have treaties.

Should they be denied their benefits?

Now, I do agree that they shouldn't pay in... but they already have...

You're right about them not being citizens, but they are legal workers.

So what do you do? Just stiff them?

Could'a, should'a, would'a...The fact is they did pay. So, now you want to deny them the ability to collect benefits that they legally and rightfully earned?

Listen, my politics are somewhere to the right of the Arch Duke Ferdinand, but that doesn't negate my belief that it's not okay to rip people off...U.S. citizens or not.
