Mexican nationals will get U.S. Social Security benefits. As if the current system weren't already bankrupt enough, Mexican nationals will be given U.S. Social Security benefits so long as they can con an American bureaucrat into believing that they've worked in the U.S. for 18-months. And of course in reality it won't matter whether the work was done by a Mexican national living illegally in the United States. Or, deed, whether the work was done off the books, with zero dollars taxed for Social Security. And as we know, the Social Security system is a redistribution system, and low wage illegal Mexican nationals will be getting far more dollars from U.S. citizens than any U.S. taxes they might happen to pay.
