Illegals and Social Security
April 10, 2006
This editorial cartoon showed up in my local paper on Sunday and it got me thinking.
First I didn’t think there wasn’t any truth to it. I mean illegal aliens don’t have any legal paperwork with them, are they not paid ‘under the table’? I figure most illegals are paid this way. These individuals are paying nothing into Social Security, Medicare, other Federal taxes, state and local taxes. How much money in tax revenue is each level of government losing? So I wonder where this $7billion figure comes from. Some articles point out that illegals acquire a fake/stolen/whatever social security number and that’s how they are paying into the system. But that raises other questions.
Who is supplying these individuals with fake SS#s?
Why is the Social Security Administration along with other Federal agencies not stopping this fraud?
These go along with other questions like…
Why are the appropriate federal agencies not enforcing the current laws regarding illegal aliens? When they are caught why are they not taken back to their country of origin?
How can illegal aliens protest, state on national TV that they are in fact illegally in this country and nothing happen to them?
The Federal government is broken in so many areas in regards to illegal aliens. The mainstream media spends all day covering the protests, but I see no investigated reporting into how and why the government is failing in doing its duty with upholding the law.
Whether the illegals already here should be made citizens or not should not be the only thing debated and studied. How/why is the system broken and how it should be fixed should be the main focus of this ‘eform’. Even if you give all the illegals citizenship the system is still broken.
