While busy looking for ways to defend your beloved government you must have missed the part that they are war criminals.

Convict them and deport them. Then they won't collect it.

That was my first thought. The two issues are not related. If he is a war criminal, certainly prosecute him.

Put him in prison. The SS will stop automatically then.

They lied to get into the country in the first place. If you gain through fraudulent actions should you be able to keep those gains?

If you PAY into SS, you should be entitled to the benefits of the program.

Not if your eligibility is fraudulent you shouldn't.

Amazing how some get off because now they're old or not many left, as many imply here......it's the point of what they did and the USA rewarded them for doing it.

And they should be arrested and prosecuted as such. I never said otherwise.

O.K. So you are on record as supporting the idea that one should be able to keep fraudulent gains.

They paid in so they get it out, now if they want to end the SS after what they paid in has been paid back I would have no issue but I am not sure they can even do that.

A debate about war criminals drawing money from a broken down government program.

It is hard to imagine things getting more insane than this. Yet here it is.

God help us...
