Which political party gave Social Security entitlements to illegals?
Link QUOTE:
” Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!”

Thanks liberals.

The darn liberals again, captain.
You are wrong both in that they get SS and that they don’t pay into it

Who other than the democrats would ever dream of giving rights to people who are in our nations illegally?
BTW- France, England, and most of western Europe don’t put up with the stuff we put up with from illegals. They ship them back home. This is one time I agree with the liberal sentiment “Why can’t we be more like France?”.
The Democrats of course and now they want to give them even more.

Wow. This is from 2005; I see it’s surfaced again and that you are posting individual questions from this old viral email.
No one–citizen, immigrant or illegal immigrant–is eligible for SS unless s/he or a relative has paid into the system. Someone is confusing SS with SSI (disability), which is funded from general revenues, not from SS taxes. *Some* immigrants (NOT illegals) are eligible under *certain conditions.*
SSI and its rules was not created by Carter, it was created during the administration of and signed by Richard Nixon.
In Ca. our Democrat Legislature refused to go along with “Welfare to work” We spend between 10 and 15 billion a year on welfare benefits to illegal aliens and have the largest welfare population in the country. The Democrats have raided Social Security every time it was taken from. Every time it was raided it was from a Democrat President and Congress. Bill Clinton being the last to do so. He took 158 billion from it. In Clinton’s, Gore’s and Kerry’s campaigns they repeatedly stated the Republicans would take Social Security from the retired folks when in fact it has always been the Democrats that have done it.
This is from the C.B.O. 1999. and what Clinton did. The only way a surplus can be created is by lowering taxes and cut spending. Neither of which the Democrats have ever done.
Yesterday the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its preliminary re estimate of the White House budget. This follows the Joint Committee on Taxation’s (JCT) re estimate of the Clinton White House’s tax provisions last week. Together, CBO and JCT are Congress’ official estimators — nonpartisan entities that Clinton himself promised to use when he first took office back in 1993.
President Clinton has promised to protect Social Security, to reduce the debt to the maximum extent possible, to control spending, and reduce taxes. But, Congress’ official estimators show that on all four counts, the President’s budget fails. Instead, Clinton’s budget raids the Social Security trust fund for $158 billion in five years, it artificially erases the surplus, it lowers the public debt less than doing nothing would, it increases spending, and it raises taxes by $89.7 billion over the 1999-2009 period.
Clinton Raids Social Security: According to CBO, Clinton spends $40 billion of the Social Security surplus in his budget’s first year (2000) and $158 billion over the first five years (2000-2004).
This is the same Social Security surplus that he has promised to save in its entirety
