Social Security & You; Perfect Together

[Stormy Inspector Jacques Clousea Find all posts View Profile Close Stormy]

Immigrants 65 or older can now apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a U.S. citizen born in the 1920s. For example, a typical American born in 1924 with a median income who worked from 1944 to 2004 receives only $791 a month. Incredibly, the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. In addition, each immigrant can obtain $580 in social assistance for a total of $2,470 a month. This contrasts to a single American taxpayer who, after contributing to the growth and development of this country for 40-50 years, receives a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old-age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement. Maybe U.S. citizens who have paid into the social security fund over a lifetime should apply as refugees!

Does anyone have any doubt why our social security fund will be running out of money soon?

I'd have to see it to believe it.

Don't believe it. It's your loss.

Where did you find this information? I'm curious. Not that it would surprise me though. What are the qualifications for the payment?

Nope.

I was told from a very young age never to rely on the government for anything..... especially SS, because *I* won't be getting a dime out of it.

Sorry Stormy.

See Snopes:

Snopes.com says this information is FALSE.

Please stop perpetuating this lie. There are plenty of TRUE things to complain about. This isn't one of them.

It is another lie. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/refugees.asp

How long will it be before the folks will wake up to the fact that they are lied to again and again and again to trick them into supporting slimeballs.
