Not only does this do nothing Congress and George Bush want to ram this immigration bill down our throat now it turns out that they want to give Social Security benefits to the illegals as well.

Backers of the so-called “grand compromise” immigration bill claim illegal workers would not be able to obtain Social Security benefits under the plan. However, the TREA Senior Citizens League (TSCL) argues that is untrue. Group spokesman Brad Phillips says illegal aliens who gained something called a “non-work” Social Security number — which entitled them to only things like food stamps or Medicare — prior to 2004, would be able to receive Social Security benefits if the bill passes.

“We’ve done some numbers on this and we found that, in total, that would allow more than two-million workers to receive approximately $966 billion in Social Security benefits between now and the year 2040,” Phillips explains. “That’s an important year because that’s about when the Social Security trustees estimate that Social Security will go bankrupt,” he notes.

Remember the Democrats fixed Social Security? I guess the fix is to make it to 2040 and then figure out what to do next. But I digress.

Why are we trying to give money to illegals who came here and broke the law? Why do we think that we have to support every person who gets hopped up on Red Bull and scurries across the border?

No wonder this Congress is at 14% approval rating. I am surprised it is that high.
