A Native American Says Immigrants Are
"Indigenous" For Health Care Purposes
An Indian-American Reader Says
SSI Treats Legal Immigrants Worse Than Illegals
From: Bashar Chowdhury [email]
I've been reading several articles
by fellow readers on illegal alien Social Security
scams. My family immigrated several years ago and my
father started an import/export business based in
Virginia. He has always paid his self-employment taxes
and contributed to Social Security and Medicare.
This May he turns 65 and according
to the last estimate we received from the SSA he will be
entitled to less than $500 a month! Yet some
aliens who don't pay taxes and don't pay into the
system are entitled to $700
under SSI. This is absolutely ridiculous.
But that's not the end of it.
Illegal aliens, people who are
breaking the law everyday, are sometimes eligible
for
more benefits thru welfare than an old man legally
in this country who has worked hard to provide for his
family while paying into the system.
