Illegal immigrants to be eligible for Social Security, Medicare (Congress, health care, Obama)

[camaro69]

Not to worry. Obama I'm sure will pass a law giving illegals retroactive status to allow them the 10 years of service.

Illegal immigrants who apply for work permits in the U.S. under President Obama’s new executive actions will be eligible for Social Security and Medicare, the White House says.

Under the sweeping actions, immigrants who are spared deportation could obtain work permits and a Social Security number, which would allow them to pay into the Social Security system through payroll taxes.

No such "lawfully present" immigrant, however, would be immediately entitled to the benefits because like all Social Security and Medicare recipients they would have to work 10 years to become eligible for retirement payments and health care. To remain qualified, either Congress or future administrations would have to extend Obama's actions so that those immigrants would still be considered lawfully present in the country.

Yup, and my wife who worked retail industry for 15 years then went back to college and became a teacher can't get a dime from social security even though she previously paid in. No refund, her money paid in is just gone.

Awesome. The sooner those programs are totally bankrupted and the people lose complete faith in them, the better.
Such ponzi schemes are immoral and provide a false sense of security for those who are forced to participate.
People better wake up, the government runs such programs to purchase votes, not to provide security.

We can also count on the illegal alien female to claim "no father" for her kids, thus getting welfare benefits, food stamps, section 8, WIC, SSI.....did I leave any out? etc...so on and so forth.

Keep printing those dollars!
