Senate Votes to Give Social Security to "Illegal" Aliens

[Solitaire]

I posted this on Discussions and it got lost in the fray, but just wondering if someone could give their opinion on this.

I'm just wondering if you all know about this and if so, what you think.

I just heard about this law and I'm pretty appalled. If I give a false SS# to my employer, I get fined and go to jail. If illegal aliens do it, they get social security.

This is the article:

Betraying constituents and taxpayers, the U.S. Senate voted in May to permit illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment, even if they obtained their jobs through fraud or documents stolen from Americans. (snip)

I would love to hear other opinions.

Thanks,
