>>The Totalization Agreement could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.<<

How!?

Have they paid into social security? If so, they are still losing money like all the rest of us.

Did you know:
The United States currently has Social Security agreements with Canada, Chile, South Korea, Australia and most of Western Europe."
"Most of Western Europe" includes Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, UK, Sweden, France, Spain. Canada is also included. I didn't know any of this.

True. But think of how much more money we can get/steal if we require them to pay in and never collect.

But I think you are missing the main point in this. That is we want to have mexico raise kids. Then when they are adults, they work here. Then they go home to mexico to retire. That is the plan. That is high efficiency economics. What we need to do is ship some of our poor elderly and retired over there or to thailand or somewhere where it is a lot cheaper to care for them. This may be the eventual bail out for the ssi system.
