Bizzy is right, I can't read this with screaming...The Ensign amendment was defeated on a 50-49 vote.Hey, uhh, John...say, if these illegals used stolen Social Security numbers to contribute to the program...uhh...how do we know how much was contributed by this particular illegal?
"We all know that millions of undocumented immigrants pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for years and sometimes decades while they work to contribute to our economy," said Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican.
"The Ensign amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming Social Security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work in our community," he said. "If this amendment were enacted, the nest egg that these immigrants have worked hard for would be taken from them and their families."
Dumb.
This is dumb.
And I knew I could count on the United States Senate to come out with the dumbest thing I've heard all week...
As Glenn Beck would say, "Get the duct tape..."
