US/Mexico Social Security Treaty Must Be Opposed

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

  • Anyone found to hire illegals, no matter where they're from, should be fined far more than that which is presently endorsed by State and Federal government.  Social Security funds are not entitlements.  They are monies are supposedly in trust for those who have paid into the system legally.  Those funds have been borrowed from by the government, which should never have been allowed, and there are many who are on disability that shouldn't be that, as far as I'm concerned, are stealing from those who have worked and paid into it for years.  Our government is messed up and we are screwed if this treaty passes.  There are a tremendous amount of social security checks that are sent to Mexico every month, some to Americans who have retired there, but most are to Mexicans who came here to make their money, but don't choose to live here.  What a bunch of idiots we have in Congress to treat the citizens of this country this way.  If huge fines were levied against employers of illegals and those monies/fines went into the social security fund, it still would not compensate for the stupidity of those in Congress.  I also believe that most social security disability checks should be closely scrutinized.  When I read this, I became angry and am about ready to blow the whistle on those that I know could be working but continue to be on the dole.  It just makes me ill.
