This idea that endless millions of Third World immigrants are going to "save" Social Security is the biggest bunch of hogwash I've ever heard. People will believe ANYTHING. The fact is its the exact opposite: these immigrants are in the process of BANKRUPTING our country.

All the nice-sounding hypothetical talk about the wonderful things these immigrants are going to do for us in the unforseen future really cracks me up. It reminds me of the suitor telling his would-be girlfriend about all the wonderful things that he, and their relationship, are going to do for her in the unforseen future. Mightn't the woman be better served by talking to some of the suitor's PREVIOUS girlfriends to find out what he already did to THEM? As opposed to listening to his nice-sounding speeches of the future?

Well, heres what these Third World immigrants have already done. They are fleeing impoverished countries they've already ruined. They certainly don't seem to have had much of an up-lifting effect on their OWN countries economies. Why in the world should I believe they'd have an uplifting effect on ours?

I know. Use a little forward thinking on it, just how many will have to follow to support the system when this batch is ready to retire? Since we need roughly a 16 to 1 ratio for the system to work, America will be a very crowded and miserable place in short order.
