Excuse?

If other people who live outside this country...who at one time WORKED in this country (and contributed to the SS fund)....... and are now collecting their SS benefits under current treaties with the countries in which they now reside...... is the norm......WHY would you deny the same to Mexicans who worked/lived under the same circumstances? Simply due to a the lack of a treaty ratifying same for Mexican workers?

Or are you suggesting that because they are Mexicans, who contributed to the SS fund while working in this country, they are NOT entitled to collect those benefits?

Nobody is entitled to the social security ponzi schem( im 21 now I'd have to be on some pretty serious s*** to ever imagine I will ever collect social security) however we can't get rid of it since the old farts vote. However since Mexicans don't vote they should be written off.

who at one time WORKED in this country

What about all those AMERICANS who only worked in this country who never get Social Security but paid into to it all their lives and are still paying into it but didn't retire at 62? My Dad can't get "his" Social Security because he's still working.

Social Security is a welfare program ---not a bank account that you put your money in and take your money out. We can't provide welfare for the whole world just because they might want in on it ---it would really be better for the Mexicans if they're so foolish to make their own Social Security program if they want one.
