Illegal Mexican workers will have a stronger legal claim to social security than citizens, under a new agreement between the United States and Mexico. The Senior Citizens League warns:
Mexican immigrants who illegally worked in the United States would have a stronger claim to U.S. Social Security benefits under a totalization agreement with Mexico than what U.S. citizens enjoy. This disturbing finding is from a new legal analysis performed for The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) of the pending U.S.- Mexico Totalization Agreement.
The pending totalization agreement has been signed by both the Mexican and U.S. Social Security Administrations, but has not yet been sent to Congress for approval. It provides Mexican beneficiaries with a contractual promise made between the government of the United States and the government of Mexico, the legal analysis says….
Yet no such contractual promise exists for U.S. citizens today, who have no legal recourse to any of the payroll taxes they pay into Social Security. The 1960 Supreme Court case, Flemming vs. Nestor, established the principle that entitlement of U.S. citizens to Social Security benefits is not a contractual right. Section 1104 of the 1935 Social Security Act specifically said: “The right to alter, amend, or repeal any provision of this Act is hereby reserved to the Congress.”
The League’s legal research and analysis found that as beneficiaries under the pending totalization agreement, Mexican workers would have legally enforceable rights in U.S. courts to obtain their benefits — rights that US citizens do NOT have….
The Senior Citizens League is a 501c(4) citizen activist organization with over 1.3 million members that grew out of a special project of The Retired Enlisted Association (TREA). These are people you can trust, mostly retired military personnel. So, if you are outraged that your government wants to use your tax money to lavish benefits on everyone but you, and you want to do something about it, you can be comfortable signing their petition:
Petition to Congress Protesting Illegal Alien Amnesty ‘Guest Worker’ Legislation and U.S. Social Security Totalization With Mexico
We, The Undersigned, urge that you do everything possible to STOP both illegal alien Amnesty “guest worker” legislation and the U.S. Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico. Both of these would allow illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, to gain legal status and access to Social Security benefits. Worse, under both, these persons would be able to claim benefits for their relatives, children and other dependents, and our government has NO IDEA of the cost!Given the problems already facing Social Security, ANY new outlays will only speed up the day when benefits will be cut and taxed. You MUST stop these two outrageous attacks on Social Security.
