Senate Votes For Amnesty! Illegals Get Social Security

The Senate voted to allow ILLEGALS who obtained their jobs with forged documents to still collect Social Security. You read that right. If an ILLEGAL came here and used forged documents to get a job they may still collect Social Security. In a period where SS benefits are in doubt for future generations and where the government continues to extort money from American taxpayers to fund other’s retirement, this smacks of bad form.
“There was a felony they were committing, and now they can’t be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me,” said Sen. John Ensign, the Nevada Republican who offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions of the immigration reform bill. “It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment.”
It is absolutely amazing to me how out of touch members of the Senate really are. They continually give our money away while rewarding non-citizens for breaking the law. People in this country who commit a crime and make money doing so lose that money when they are arrested. This is no different than telling a bank robber that he can keep the money he stole from the bank even though he committed a crime to get it.
ILLEGALS should have to forfeit that money as a penalty for being here ILLEGALLY! When will the members of the Senate realize that when you reward bad behavior you get more bad behavior. Tell me where this idea will stop people from committing crimes. We have laws for a reason. The moonbats in the Congress are all over the ENRON fiasco demanding that Ken Lay and others pay for getting rich while others lost money. Maybe we need to tell Lay that he can KEEP the money he got. Maybe they should have allowed Congressman Randy Cunningham to keep the millions he made illegally and just told him not to do it again. He went to jail, Lay faces jail time and the ILLEGALS are getting away with all kinds of crimes. It would appear that the only mistake made by Lay and Cunningham is not being ILLEGAL aliens. They would have been given amnesty if they were.
I am so tired of the political leaders in this country doing STUPID things. They are not good leaders and the only thing they work hard at is staying in office. By the way, for those of you who still think John McCain is the answer, he voted to allow this amnesty. That should put the final nail in this RINO’s coffin.
I read somewhere that millions of us should show up at the Capital and tell them we are undocumented Congressmen and we are there to do the job that Congress will not do. At first it was a funny line but the more I think about it the more validity it has. Remember, our members only work about 100 days a year and yet they still cause tons of damage in so short a time.
Vote them all out and replace them with people willing to do the job and do it right. Term Limits have never looked so good.
