Yes, they will be eligible for Social Security based on the SS taxes that they have contributed after they have established legality. <b>They will not, however, have access to any benefits that were paid in while using false Social Security account numbers while their status was not legal.</b> The money paid by undocumented immigrants (more than $6 billion per year) is channeled into the Earnings Suspense File, which holds payments made by people using false identities or incorrect Social Security numbers.

This post ranks highly when you plug "social security benefits illegals" into Google, so you're performing a public service here. I got this same e-mail from my brother in law.

It is time we started to take care of all the legalized citizens and send the illegals back to there own country, where ever that might be. I do not see any other country pampering individuals that enter their country illegally. I still fail to understand why a bill is needed to grant legalized citizens SS benefits.

No one is suggesting that people who don't pay into Social Security will start collecting it. The bill in question says nothing about "amnesty for aliens." You really have to be pretty ignorant not to understand that this is about SSI Benefits for naturalized citizens who have paid into the system. That's it. Guys, stop letting nuts like Beck and Limbaugh do your thinking for you.

Obama plans to bankrupt this country by creating a series of emergencies that need to be resolved NOW by an infusion of federal funds that are non-existent. Amnesty for illegals is the next step.
