Another Perspective On Ill Gotten Gains

The U.S. Senate blocked an effort on Thursday to limit Social Security benefits for illegal immigrants who would become permanent residents under a sweeping immigration overhaul being debated by lawmakers.

I've been thinking about this issue regarding illegals being given credit for social security payments made under false acounts, which is a crime, actually.

Now, since we all know how repugnant it is when criminals benefit from the proceeds of their crime, wouldn't the more logical approach be to mandate that illegal immigrants who want amnesty pay back, not only any dollars received in the form of free health or medical treatments they've received on our dime, but also every dollar they ever made from their criminal employment?

Ha! Right. Just how much do you think they'd be willing to pay, if they actually had to pay anything at all for this amnesty the Senate seems so intent on granting. I'd move to another state just to vote for the member of the Senate who had the nerve to put forward an amendment like that one.

Perhaps the government should ask those that have been victims of identity theft if they welcome such reform? What is there compensation? What compensation for those that are not yet aware that they are victims today, or perhaps tomorrow?

I am still shaking my head Dan. The Senate is hell bent on handing this nation over and the House is hell bent on handing the government over.

You'd think that there would enough collective brain matter in DC to come up with a workable and reasonable set of laws to fix what is fast becoming BEYOND fixable.

Nope, in fact, the more they DO, the more they screw up.

We were having some fun over at my place last night and I suggested that shooting ANY politician who even attempts to run a second time would be a dandy idea.

The more I think about that, the more reasonable it sounds.

Because at the rate things are going, there won't be enough bullets or ballots to hold the conquering hordes at bay.

If I was 20 years younger I would move to New Zealand in a heartbeat.

This country is goin' to hell so damned fast, I can't catch my breath.

Do you think any of this crap would fly in any other country? Are these the lawmakers of the United States? Where they hell is the Supreme Court in this? This is unbelievable. So much for Crime doesn't pay.
