Social Security benefits shouldn't go to illegals

In 2004, the Social Security Administration signed a "Totalization Bill" with Mexico.

Subsequently, if amnesty in any form is passed, all those illegals from Mexico given such amnesty and all their relatives, no matter where they live in the world, will become eligible for Social Security. Furthermore, any work they have done in the country they live in, plus any work they have done illegally in the United States, will count toward their benefits.

To have people working here illegally, using forged documents and perhaps your Social Security number to do so, and to have them rewarded with the same benefits that we worked so hard to earn, is unthinkable and a huge threat to our way of life.

Although we cannot control when we will reach Social Security age, we can let our federal officials know what we demand. Before it is too late, it's time to put the American citizens first.
