Information obtained through the freedom of information act by The TREA Senior Citizens League regarding an agreement the Bush administration has reached with Mexico on Social Security benefits that would allow illegal aliens granted amnesty in the future to claim credit for the time that they've worked illegally.
"If you open up the trust fund to people who have been working in the country illegally for many years, that bankruptcy date can only come sooner," spokesman Brad Phillips said. "People on the other side of this, people who have been arguing that of course illegal aliens can't get their hands on Social Security benefits, now can't make that argument easily anymore."
Mark Lassiter, a spokesman for so security administration doesn't agree, stating that the agreement does not change US law.
"To get Social Security benefits, you do have to be legally in the United States. This agreement does not address in any way immigration, immigration laws or override current law," said Lassiter, adding that a 2004 law, the Social Security Protection Act, prevents illegal aliens from getting benefits.
The senior citizens group points out that the 2004 law also states that if those illegal aliens later get legal status, whether through an amnesty or some other legalization plan, that they would be able to collect the benefits based on the time as illegal workers.
President Bush has not yet signed it or submitted it to Congress. Once submitted to Congress, they would have 60 days to vote against it or it will automatically become law.

One teeny little problem with all of this is that illegal aliens who are working and paying Social Security taxes are using a stolen or forged SS#. That means that there's no way that they can prove entitlement to benefits even if they somehow achieve legal status.
All this will do is encourage more to cross the border.
Although you might have to be legal to get the SS, it is not a requirement of a legal alien to have worked here in order to get benefits. I know an older woman who moved here legally but has never worked here and she gets SS because she meets the age requirement. I hope she is drawing from the Bush family account and not mine!
During a previous discussion about illegal aliens and the helplessness of the local authorities to do anything about it many people defended the Springfield Mayor's position that there is nothing local law enforcement can do about this lawless situation. Please visit my blog.

The key piece to the ACT you quoted is state and local. First the state supercede's local and under state law, Oregon has made it literally against the law for locals to enforce such policy. I also believe Oregon is the only state with such a law on the books. My advice to you is go after your wonderful legislator's to change the law. Oh but wait, your chance went out the door when the democrat's took control of all three branches.
The only thing I can think of on why you have decided to make a crusade against our mayor, is because since he has been in office Springfield has kicked the hell out of Eugene's ass in just about everything. I guess I can completely understand why you are so angry.
Another anonymous comment by someone who doesn't know that the Springfield Mayor has participated in our blogs and knows we are not attacking him, but policy.
And, by the way, most of us are actively involved in our communities trying to change things.....are you? Or should we also make broad assumtions about your motives?

I am the kind of guy who passions to seek different stuff. Right now I am building my personal solar panels. I'm making it all alone without the aid of my men. I'm using the internet as the only path to acheive this. I ran across a very amazing site that explains how to make solar panels and wind generators. The site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I'm not really sure bout how accurate the info given there is. If some guys over here who have experience with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it will be grand and I'd really appreciate it, because I really love solar panel construction.
Thanks for reading this. You people are the best.
