Apparently Newscrap is fanning the illegal immigration fire again.....
How exactly do you hide an agreement that is going to be presented to Congress and has to be approved by them?
On top of that, just from a cursory read, you would have to be in the US longer than Mexico for it to apply, you would have to have valid SS# and valid documentation in general proving that you have paid SS. Apparently, under existing law, any legal Mexican worker is already covered under US SS law.
How about this link that explains the same program that we have with so many other nations, explaining that the benefit is primarily for our citizens and employers working in foreign nations?

The ss deal with Mexico will not be like any other nation. Mexico gets the sweetheart deal of all nations. Yes, illegals will be able to collect ss. You and I have to work 10 years or 40 quarters before becoming eligible for benefits. Mexicans will have to only work 6 quarters or 18 months to be eligible.
