Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great day. This time I want to talk about some information I received that really has me thinking. This information is not really a Democratic or a Republican issue, but itis important for all of us. I got an interesting emailfrom a friend of mine that said we might be paying social security benefits to illegal immigrants who reside in our country.
Now, me personally, I dont mind paying if you are here legally and follow the rules that have been laid out. However, if you are here illegally I have a real problem with having to use my tax dolloars to pay for services you use. As I said this really is not an indictment on the political parties because their guilt is evident without pointing a finger at either one.
So here I’am working my job having taxes and social security taken from my pay over the years to help pay for my retirement year down the road. Then you have some guy who is here illegally taking away from my social security benefits. This person has not paid a red cent or paid the price the rest of us Americans have paid to earn the right to receive it and here you go wanting to give this money to an illegal. To put it simply, that ain’t right.
There are those who will say America is made up of immigrants and we should let them have that right. That is true but we have standards and rules to play by and if a person comes here to this country and follows the rules of our land and gets citizenship legally, then social security should be something this person receives. But if you are here mooching off the system that is already exahausted and then you want social security benefits when you are old have not paid your fair share of taxes and social security withholding to begin with, I feel we should not allow that as an option.
I just can’t fathom the reasoningbehind that idea. I think it is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard and I hope that this action never sees the light of day. Catch you next time.
