I mean, REALLY?
Giving Social Security to those that were using stolen ss numbers is crazy. On top of that, they know to take out max deductions so hardly anything is being yanked out of their illegal pay check anyway. Imagine your disdain when the IRS gives you a call that you've made more than you put on your tax forms? Ya, that's a happy place.

All thanks to an Illegal Alien just 'trying to make a better life'.

<<Illegal aliens cannot get welfare or medical benefits can you please get that thru your heads. >>

An anchor baby is elligible for all kinds of social services. When they get Sec. 8 housing, do you think they live there alone? Do you think food stamps feed only those children? Do you think all the welfare money is spent on that child? No, the whole family benefits, so illegal aliens are using social services. Add that to the fact that the whole family can get medical treatment in an emergency room, and all the children, legal or not, are educated K-12, and provided school meals at taxpayer expense. Can you please get that through your head?

<<they can contribute even more in taxes to our economy.>>

The problem with that is that most of them are minimum wage earners, and frequently have large families, so rather than contributing more taxes, they'll pay very little, if any taxes, and instead be elligible for the earned income tax credit. More of them will be elligible for social services also, so instead of getting welfare, food stamps, etc. for one or two children born in this country, the whole family will be eligible.

And that law needs to be changed (grandfather in the existing Anchors as US citizens but the parents would still need to leave regardless) to bring our laws pertaining to birthright citizenship in line with the rest of the First World.

This massive raid at an Iowa meat company will now be able to share effects or aftermath through a movie titled "abUSed-The Postville Raid". It should come out this year. As a matter of fact, the documentary has been previewed by some members of congress.

If they are legal and paying taxes and contributing to society, I agree. One of the reasons I love to travel is to experience diverse cultures.

If they are illegal freeloaders, put 'em on a bus and send them back.

The real title should be

How to dispose of your Countries poor, compliments of Guatemala and Mexico.

Or ..... how to use the US taxpayers as your surrogate Mommy.
