Senate blocks effort to limit benefits for those who become legal residents

The U.S. Senate today rejected an effort to limit Social Security benefits for illegal aliens who become permanent residents under an immigration reform bill being debated.

As it stands, the bill the Senate is considering would give millions of illegals a path to U.S. citizenship if they pay fines, back taxes and meet other requirements.

The Social Security proposal, offered by Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., would have prevented illegals who become legal from collecting the benefit on wages they earned while working unlawfully.


"Social Security was not intended for people who entered our country illegally," Ensign is quoted as saying.

Countered Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.: "Their money sits in the Social Security Administration waiting to be matched with an eligible beneficiary, and once those workers establish the eligibility, how in all fairness can we deny them the credit for their past contributions?"

Reuters reported that later today senators will consider an amendment to the bill by Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., to make English the national language.

As WorldNetDaily reported, yesterday the Senate approved an amendment to the immigration reform bill that would direct the building of a triple-layer fence along 370 miles of the southern border with Mexico.

The Bush administration today indicated the president supported the fence proposal.

"[Bush] doesn't think you fence off the entire border but there are places ... where fences are appropriate, and then, you build fences there," spokesman Tony Snow said.

Aside from dumping gasoline on an a fiery issue which is already making Americans mad, this is stupid beyond compare in terms of economics. If anyone wants to know where this will lead, do a little research on what is happening to Germany's socialist pension system now that they've absorbed the former East Germany.

(Hint: They extended it to include East Germans who haven't been contributing to the system all their working lives.)

To Kennedy: That's only 9 million of the 30-50 million illegals. And coupled with other taxes they aren't paying, that still leaves the system in the red.

Why do I get the distinct impression 'our' legislators don't give a damn about the people who elected them and the country they are supposed to protect?  :(  It's like watching a fixed boxing match.

credit for contributions?

Why should illegals get credit for their contributions?  As someone whose grandparents, parents, and self were all born in the USA and all legal citizens, I will nver see the full credit for my "contributions".  Kennedy talks like Social Security is an investement instead of a pyramid scheme.

And there, my friend, is the point.

Remember all that talk about Social Security going broke?  About how there are going to be more people getting money out of the system than putting money in?

This is Bush's solution.

Increase the taxpaying population.  Find a way to get more people to put more money into the system.  He thinks that this amnesty and the expected increase in tax revenues will balance the load.

They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.
