I just wrote the following letter to Senator Obama on Myspace. I wasn't aware until now of his standing on the issue, but apparently he voted in favor of extending Medicaid, welfare, & Social Security to illegal immigrants. I asked for a response, so we'll see if I get one.


My question is this, Senator: How do you propose that extending welfare, Medicaid, & Social Security to illegal immigrants is helpful to the blue collar workers who are LEGAL citizens in this country?

Social Security is already a huge concern for people of my age group. It has pretty much become common knowledge that, even though I will pay for it my entire working life, it is very likely that there will be very little, if any, funds left by the time I retire. How does entiteling millions of illegal immigrants, who have never contributed to this fund, help my generation when it comes time to retire?

How does it help me, as a working class American, to pay for the health & welfare of millions of illegal immigrants who, quite possibly are working but under assumed identities?

I would appreciate a response to your views of this subject.

Sincerely,
Tamarra
