The Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment — even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents.
“There was a felony they were committing, and now they can’t be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me,” said Sen. John Ensign, the Nevada Republican who offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions of the immigration reform bill. “It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment.”
The Ensign amendment was defeated on a 50-49 vote.
Liberty Letters Comment: Let your Senators know that America’s laws must be upheld. Ask them to promote separate legislation that will prohibit these felons from collecting Social Security and other government cash, commodities, or services. Either we are a government of laws, or we are not.
