From the Office of Congressman Steve King
Dear Friend,
As you know from the enclosed letter, a U.S./Mexico Social Security Treaty will place a massive and unnecessary burden on our already troubled Social Security system. And you have probably read how passage of the Treaty takes place automatically UNLESS Congress acts to stop it.
There are other reasons why EVERY taxpayer, Social Security recipient and concerned American should OPPOSE the proposed totalization agreement with Mexico:
- It will cost the Social Security Trust Funds hundreds of millions of dollars in payments to Mexican citizens – including illegal workers and their dependents.
- The Treaty will encourage massive Social Security fraud among the approximately 10 million or so illegal workers and their dependents, thereby costing the Trust Funds (and the taxpayer) millions and probably billions of dollars more.
- It will pay Social Security retirement benefits to Mexican citizens based on work they performed while in the U.S. illegally – thus rewarding illegal behavior.
As millions of “baby boomers” retire, the last thing we need to do is add millions of additional recipients.
I believe it is a terrible Treaty, and comes at the worst possible time for our Social Security system, which is already in financial trouble.
Which is why I introduced a special Resolution into the House of Representatives to DISAPPROVE the Treaty and thereby help block it from going into effect. The Senior Citizens League is a leader in the campaign to make sure the Treaty does not pass. Please take a minute to help them make sure Congress acts BEFORE it is too late and the Treaty goes into effect.
Sincerely,
Steve King
Member of Congress

we should all be declaring a 501-c3 status for supporting mexican illegals.
I am gonna sit back and watch Wyoming state wage war against obama and the feds when they try to go in Wyoming and enforce a gun ban. That I believe is where the beginning of the end of liberals and the IDIOTS in office will begin. Then we can have our country back. I am in Texas waiting for my state to enact the same laws against the feds.
Apparently, as we would expect, "Alot of ILLEGALS working with ILLEGAL Social Security cards out here in California". But are the companies collecting SS taxes and sending the money to the government?: Two questions. What does the government do with that money? How would the Illegals benefit from and participate in the SS program if they do not have a valid SS number? Please help me understand. Do you?
Screw you Obama!!
This is just another way for bo to destroy America, downsizing our military, open borders, death panels, gun control, while spending billions on his vacations, family members, Air Force One for a shopping spree, WH parties, tv stars dinners, and golf. Spread the wealth to him and destroy the USA, simple goals.
Thank you David Batten. I have written all my Senators and Congressman. Thanks for the kick in the fanny to make me do something. You were right!
OK, I HEAR a lot of griping and whining but no one planning on doing something about it.
SO....
Here's how you get in touch with your Reps in Washington:

AND
Here's how to get in touch with your Senator: http://www.senate.gov/
....SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!
Why would we even consider something like this? Social Security is weak and can't handle a few more million "takers" that haven't paid for the benefit. If leaders must to give away more money, they should try to atleast keep it in the USA. I'm all for legal immigrants paying into and receiving SS but the system simply can't carry more people that have never paid into the system.
