Illegal immigrants could receive Social Security, Medicare under Obama action
Washington Post ^ | 15 Nov 14 | Karen Tumulty

Posted on 11/26/2014 2:40:04 AM PST by SkyPilot

Under President Obama’s new program to protect millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, many of those affected will be eligible to receive Social Security, Medicare and a wide array of other federal benefits, a White House official said Tuesday.

In his speech Thursday night, the president touted his plan as a means of bringing accountability to a broken immigration system, under which 11 million or more people are estimated to be living in this country illegally.

“We’re going to offer the following deal: If you’ve with been in America more than five years. If you have children who are American citizens or [legal] residents. If you register, pass a criminal background check and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes, you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily without fear of deportation,” he said. “You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”

For those who work, that includes payroll taxes, also known as FICA taxes, because they are collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act.

The tax payments are usually split between employer and employee and include 12.4 percent collected to pay for Social Security, as well as 2.9 percent to pay for Medicare.

Carmen Lopez applauds after President Barack Obama's speech addressing immigration at Casa de Maryland in Hyattsville, Md., Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014. Obama announced that millions of illegal immigrants will gain protections from deportation under a plan that would bypass Congress.

Only in a country where the government doesn’t have to earn your money.

I’ve been saying this here for years now. The Social Security Administration knows EXACTLY who/where/when of all the duplicate (SSNs) use for a long time now. It’s one of the simplest search and sort operations for most any computer database.

They can track the multiple instances, locations, dates of every use/payment and separate them from the original owner’s contributions (they wouldn’t want to be paying that person more per month when he retires, would they?).

They haven’t prosecuted or done anything but keep the books straight. Up until now, it was free money to them. Cash cow....payola and it forestalled insolvency.

But now, with Obama bringing them into legality, these former payers can now get paid. This is going to be a substantial hit on the payout pool when the illegals retire. Worse yet, they will be eligible for SSDI, so I wouldn’t go hiring any Mexican roofers to reshingle my house if I were you. He’ll fall off, sue you, and then go see Cochran Firm to file for SSDI....

The Social Security Administration knows all about ID theft---knows EXACTLY who/where/when duplicate (SSNs) are used. It’s one of the simplest search and sort operations for most computer databases. They can track the multiple instances, locations, dates of every use/payment and separate them from the original owner’s contributions ......

Nice contributuion to the thread. Thanks.

================================================

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT "THE PRESIDENT SAID," and I quote: "illegal immigrants hiding in the shadows---including criminals---are encouraged to come forward to fill out APPLICATIONS for temporary residency."

The "tolerant and compassionate" Obama govt will record all their information including illegals' documents from their homelands: copies of their matricular cards, passports, names of family members, number of children, places of residence in the USA, as well as in their homelands, including full biometrics, fingerprints, DNA etc. etc. etc.....

Remember people, "THE PRESIDENT SAID" illegals should give federal operatives and agencies all their relevant info so that 5 million illegals "could come out of the shadows and stay." (sniffle)

==================================================

Oh, BTW, all info will be data-mined w/ existing federal and state info.....heaven knows what we'll find:

Multiple identities,

voting registrations,

multiple SS nos,

multiple drivers' licenses,

multiple EBT cards,

EITC applications,

real estate holdings here, and in their homelands,

investment accounts,

American Express platinum cards,

bank accounts,

bank cards,

debit cards,

wire-transfers to offshore banks,

memberships in violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.......

etc, etc, etc, and so on and forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

=============================================

Mmmmmm.....I can't wait til they all come out of the shadows. ROTFLMCO.

I guess Carmen Lopez doesn’t understand that she is now expected to contribute to the pot (including the new ObamaCare tax).

Hey. Why not? We have so much money that we don’t know what to do with it. Besides. We are a “rich” and “generous” country and it would be “cruel” to keep these people off the government handout gravy train.

They will get SS, Medicare/Medicaid, EBT cards, housing, free education, and employers will get a $3.000 tax credit for employing an illegal instead of a US citizen, if the employer pays for insurance. The tab for hosting Obama’s illegals will be about 2 trillion dollars. Come one, come all, to the Democrat plantation. It has worked out so well for American blacks, we want to extend it to everyone in Mexico, Central and South America.

And that was the original intention of his actions. Take money from those who earned it legally and give it to those who will vote for him.

The Cloward–Piven strategy.

“overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty”

Or as Karen Tumulty would write it “overloading been the U.S. public welfare to order a crisis precipitate of the replacement welfare system”. Is she kin to ol Al Sharpton?

When the currency is counterfeit, spread it around before the marks get the drift. There’s always the trillion dollar platinum coin.

It doesn’t matter if you have been here for 5 years or not.

If you are here illegally, you are a criminal and are committing a crime. You should be dealt with, WHY DO WE LET THIS GO ON?!

I want EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SENT BACK TO MEXICO, AND IF CAUGHT AGAIN, DEATH. It’s not in our character to allow our country to fail like this. What a joke. Round these people up, send them back to their countries. They could try to fix their countries, but nope. Lazy leeching assholes. Well here goes more of my future, and more of my income to pay for criminal layabouts.

As soon as our futures are gone, no one will have anything to lose. The tree of Liberty will thrive again.
