    Refugees get more benefits than retired Americans?

    Got this from a friend, and thought y'all might have some thoughts to share with the government about this situation. Sorry for formatting errors... they're in the original text of the email, and I couldn't get them all out.

    Subject: Fw: SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

    Get mad and pass it on - I don't know how, but maybe some good

    will come of this travesty.

    If an immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid
    and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004. She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there's a 'catch 22'.



    It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee

    with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an

    additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.



    This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to

    the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only

    receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and

    Guaranteed Income Supplement.



    Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!



    Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all

    be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the pensioners up to $2,470. Then we can enjoy some of the money we

    were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60

    years.



    Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians

    have been doing over the past 11 years - to the over-taxed

    American.



    SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW

    Do these dollars come out of a fund specifically set aside by Congress for the refugee program or does the money come out of an already established fund that was orginally designed for other purposes?

    Not true Snopes says. It's concerning a one time fee that Canada does, not US.
    Although I bet we do something like that too.
