Immigration - Illegals granted Social Security
Yes, I can see both sides of this.
But don't we confiscate assets gained by illegal drug sales?
Would we not confiscate the assets of an illegal immigrant who profited from selling drugs?
What's the difference?...
Oops! I momentarily forgot. Politicians are involved...

In the Washington Times, Charles Hurt discusses how illegals have been granted Social Security:
"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."
