As Social Security Funds Dwindle, Illegals Still Get Theirs

Every day the illegal immigration argument becomes more painful to endure. By a vote of 50-49, the Senate defeated a bill that would have prevented illegals from receiving credit for future Social Security funds while they were working illegally.

Apart from problems with trying to figure out how much illegals have contributed to Social Security, they now get free health care, free benefits, free education, the right to vote,....does citizenship even matter anymore? Why not have a bill that forces Americans to open their checkbooks and give a $10,000 check to every illegal?

This Senate bill must not pass. I don't care if it costs the GOP the Presidency, the House and the Senate (really). I don't care if it costs us the tax cuts or if Bush gets impeached. In addition to everything else, the Democrats will have created a permanent majority for the next 50 years. The GOP simply cannot out-Democrat the Democrats and win the votes of illegals - it just won't happen. The bill would be a long-term disaster for the GOP and the nation.
