yea, well I hope someone wakes up Jorge Bush, 'cause the el Presidente doesn't appear to have a clue!

Forget SS, in CA alone, it's costing taxpayers NINE BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to allow illegals to stay here...and that's NET after you deduct what they contribute. And at those prices we could round up every illegal in America, put them up in the Four Seasons for the night and FLY them home tomorrow and still be ahead of the game at the end of the year!

40 quarters to qualify for SS retirement or disability benefits. However, I think the focus is on getting people to go home. Currently, I have a neighbor who would like to be living in Mexico, but found out that his Social Security benefits were cut in half, so he moved back to the US. Also, bith US and Canada have rules liomiting living abroad and eligibility for Medicare benefits.
