I just received an email from a good friend which claims "The Senate voted this week to allow illegal aliens access to Social Security benefits"

Did I miss something here or is this just not true?

Here is the email minus the 600 + signatures

Mom was a homemaker and Dad worked all his life and paid into Social Security. Dad has passed away and now Mom can barely make ends meet. While the illegal alien in front of her at the grocery store buys the name brands, Mom goes for the generic brands, and day old breads. She doesn't have out of state calling on her phone, because she can't afford it and shops at the thrift shops and dollar stores. She considers having a pizza delivered once a week eating out. She grew up during the depression, watched her husband go overseas to fight in the Second World War only a year after their wedding, and then they went on to raise, feed and clothe five children...

The Senate voted this week to allow illegal aliens access to Social Security benefits. I'm sorry, but how can the Senate justify this slap in the face to born and bred, or naturalized citizens. It is already impossible to live on Social Security alone. If they give benefits to illegal aliens who have never contributed, where does that leave us that have paid into Social Security all our working lives?

Attached is an opportunity to sign a petition that requires citizenship for eligibility to receive social services. If you do not wish to sign the petition yourself, at least please forward it along to anyone you think might be interested.
